What color is Behr Coveted Gem?
Behr Coveted Gem N560-2 is a light, muted gray with a noticeable lavender cast. Its soft violet undertone keeps it from reading like a plain neutral, especially in daylight or under cool LED lighting. In warmer evening light, the gray aspect may become more prominent, giving the color a quieter, slightly softened appearance. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and calm living areas, where its pale depth can keep walls feeling open without looking stark. Pair Coveted Gem with crisp white trim, charcoal accents, pale oak, or brushed nickel for a clean, low-contrast palette.

LRV of Coveted Gem
Coveted Gem has an LRV of 46.4% 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 46.4%, 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.
