What color is Behr Dignified Purple?
Behr Dignified Purple N110-6 is a muted, medium-dark purple-gray with a softly dusty cast rather than a bright violet look. Its low saturation gives it a grounded appearance, with subtle warmth from its faint rosy-brown undertone. In bright daylight, this shade can read more like a softened gray-purple, while lower or warmer light draws out its deeper plum character. It suits a bedroom, dining room, or study where a darker wall color can add definition without becoming overly dramatic. Pair Dignified Purple with warm white trim, weathered oak, brushed brass, and muted clay or mushroom-toned textiles.

LRV of Dignified Purple
Dignified Purple has an LRV of 13.64% 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 13.64%, 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.
