What color is Behr Epiphany?
Behr Epiphany P100-3 is a light, muted lavender with a soft gray cast that keeps the purple from feeling overly sweet. Its pale value gives it an airy presence on full walls, while the subtle cool undertone is especially appealing in bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet reading corners. In bright daylight, Epiphany reads as a gentle lavender; under warmer evening lighting, it can take on a slightly rosier, more powdery appearance. Pair it with crisp white trim for contrast, or use warm off-whites, light oak, and brushed brass to bring out its softer side. Deep charcoal, plum, and dusty blue accessories can add definition without overpowering this delicate shade.

LRV of Epiphany
Epiphany has an LRV of 60.34% 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 60.34%, 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.
