What color is Behr Fine Burgundy?
Behr Fine Burgundy HDC-CL-02 is a muted, medium-dark red with a softened berry cast rather than a bright wine-red intensity. Its grayish restraint keeps the color grounded, while the slight rosy-purple undertone gives it dimension. In daylight, Fine Burgundy can read as a dusty cranberry-red; under warm evening lamps, it tends to look deeper and browner. It suits a dining room, powder room, or bedroom accent wall, and can also bring character to lower cabinetry or a painted built-in. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, aged brass, dark walnut, and natural linen for a layered, lived-in look.

LRV of Fine Burgundy
Fine Burgundy has an LRV of 11.9% 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 11.9%, 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.
