What color is Behr Dusty Lilac?
Behr Dusty Lilac N110-1 is a very light, muted gray with a faint rosy-lilac cast. Its low saturation keeps the color understated, reading almost like a soft off-white in bright daylight while retaining a subtle pinked-gray tint. In lower or warmer lighting, the muted blush undertone may become more noticeable. Dusty Lilac suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and living areas where a pale wall color is wanted without the starkness of plain white. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or soft taupe textiles for a grounded look.

LRV of Dusty Lilac
Dusty Lilac has an LRV of 60.98% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 60.98%, 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.
