What color is Behr Classic Waltz?
Behr Classic Waltz P570-6 is a medium-deep violet with a muted, slightly smoky cast that keeps its purple presence grounded. It reads cooler in daylight, where its blue-violet side is more noticeable, while warm lamps can bring forward a softer plum note. This shade has enough depth for a dining room, bedroom accent wall, or study without feeling as heavy as a near-black purple. Pair it with warm white trim, light greige textiles, natural oak, or aged brass for contrast. On cabinetry or built-in shelving, Classic Waltz can add focused color alongside pale walls and simple matte finishes.

LRV of Classic Waltz
Classic Waltz has an LRV of 13.31% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 13.31%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
