What color is Behr Fig Preserves?
Behr Fig Preserves N110-3 is a muted mid-tone gray with a soft mauve cast that keeps it from reading flat or purely neutral. Its low saturation gives walls a gently weathered, powdery appearance, while the subtle red-violet undertone becomes more noticeable beside crisp white trim. In daylight, Fig Preserves can look like a calm grayed plum; under warm lamps, it shifts toward a dustier rose-gray. It suits bedrooms, reading nooks, and dining rooms where a restrained color adds more character than standard gray. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, natural oak, linen textiles, or aged brass for contrast without making the palette feel busy.

Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Fig Preserves
Fig Preserves has an LRV of 33.96% 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 33.96%, 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.
