What color is Behr Dressed To Impress?
Behr Dressed To Impress MQ1-19 is a deep, muted reddish brown with a noticeable earthy cast. Its low-key saturation keeps the color grounded rather than bright, making it especially effective for a dining room, library, or powder room where darker walls can feel intentional. In warm daylight, the red-brown character comes forward; under cooler or dimmer lighting, it can read closer to a softened cocoa brown. Use Dressed To Impress on an accent wall, built-in cabinetry, or a front door alongside warm ivory, dusty clay, aged brass, walnut, and natural leather.

LRV of Dressed To Impress
Dressed To Impress has an LRV of 8.73% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 8.73%, 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.
