What color is Behr Decanting?
Behr Decanting S120-4 is a muted rosy mauve with enough gray to keep its pink-purple cast soft and restrained. Its medium-light depth gives walls noticeable color without making a room feel heavily saturated. In daylight, Decanting can read as a dusty blush, while warmer evening bulbs tend to bring out its gentle rose undertone. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and dressing areas, especially beside warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, or charcoal textiles. For a more tailored look, pair this shade with deep plum accents or a muted olive green.
LRV of Decanting
Decanting has an LRV of 41% 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 41%, 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.
