What color is Behr Fine Wine?

Behr Fine Wine S120-7 is a deep, muted berry tone with dusty red and plum notes beneath its softened finish. It reads like a restrained wine-colored mauve rather than a bright burgundy, giving it enough depth for a dining room, powder room, or dramatic bedroom wall. In daylight, Fine Wine shows more of its rosy-plum character; under warm evening lighting, it can appear darker and slightly browner. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm greige, aged brass, walnut, and natural linen for a grounded look. It also makes a strong choice for cabinetry or a single accent wall when lighter surrounding surfaces keep the room from feeling too enclosed.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 10.61%, 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.
