What color is Behr Exotic Eggplant?
Behr Exotic Eggplant S110-7 is a deep, muted plum with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly purple. Its red-violet undertone gives the color gentle warmth, while the softened saturation makes it feel grounded rather than bright. In daylight, Exotic Eggplant can show as a dusky berry-brown; under warm evening bulbs, it tends to appear richer and more wine-toned. Use it on a dining room wall, a small powder room, or built-in cabinetry where its depth can add definition. Pair this shade with warm ivory, dusty blush, charcoal, aged brass, or medium-to-dark walnut for a layered, natural-looking palette.

LRV of Exotic Eggplant
Exotic Eggplant has an LRV of 11.59% 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 11.59%, 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.
