What color is Behr Eccentric Magenta?
Behr Eccentric Magenta P110-5A is a muted mid-tone magenta with a dusty lavender cast that keeps it from feeling overly bright. Its blend of rosy pink and soft purple gives it a gently cool appearance, though warm daylight can bring out more of its pink side. Use this color on a bedroom feature wall, a powder room, or painted furniture when the room needs a noticeable but softened dose of color. Crisp white trim gives it definition, while charcoal, deep plum, pale gray, and natural oak create grounded pairings. In lower light, Eccentric Magenta can read deeper and more subdued, making it especially effective against light neutral walls and matte black details.

LRV of Eccentric Magenta
Eccentric Magenta has an LRV of 27.41% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 27.41%, 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.
