What color is Behr Courtly Purple?
Behr Courtly Purple S100-3 is a light, muted purple with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it soft rather than sugary. Its pale lavender character can read a little cooler in north-facing rooms, while warmer bulbs bring out a faintly dusty, mauve-leaning look. This shade is well suited to bedroom walls, a powder room, or a quiet home office where a deeper color might feel heavy. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale greige upholstery, weathered oak, or brushed nickel for a calm, lightly layered palette. On cabinetry or a single accent wall, Courtly Purple adds gentle color without dominating the room.

LRV of Courtly Purple
Courtly Purple has an LRV of 46.05% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 46.05%, 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.
