What color is Behr Garden Plum?
Behr Garden Plum S110-5 is a muted mid-tone plum with soft rosy-gray undertones that keep it grounded rather than overly purple. Its dusty appearance gives walls gentle color presence without making a room feel dark. In daylight, Garden Plum can read as a subdued mauve, while warmer evening lighting tends to bring out its pinker cast. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and dining areas where a softened color statement feels appropriate. Pair it with warm white trim, weathered oak, charcoal accents, or brushed brass for a layered, natural-looking palette.

LRV of Garden Plum
Garden Plum has an LRV of 26.37% 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 26.37%, 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.
