What color is Behr Crantini?
Behr Crantini PPU1-11 is a medium-deep muted red with a dusty rose cast and a soft brown undertone. It reads warmer than a true berry shade, giving it an earthy, grounded character rather than a bright or candy-like look. In strong daylight, its red tones become clearer, while evening light can bring out its deeper, slightly wine-colored side. Crantini makes a confident choice for a dining room, powder room, or a single accent wall behind a bed. Pair it with warm ivory, putty beige, dark walnut, aged brass, or charcoal textiles for a layered, restrained palette.

LRV of Crantini
Crantini has an LRV of 12.51% 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 12.51%, 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.
