What color is Behr Gothic Purple?
Behr Gothic Purple N110-4 is a muted, medium-depth mauve-gray with a softly dusty purple cast. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded, so it reads more like a weathered plum-neutral than a bright violet. In daylight, the gray component is likely to feel more noticeable, while warmer evening bulbs can bring out its faint rosy undertone. Use it on a bedroom wall, powder room, or built-in cabinetry where a darker neutral would feel too plain. Pair Gothic Purple with warm white trim, charcoal accents, aged brass, walnut, or natural linen for a layered, lived-in look.

What are Behr Gothic Purple undertones?
Gothic Purple is a midtone, very muted muted taupe. The HEX sample has a subtle pink-red bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear pink-red. 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 Gothic Purple
Gothic Purple has an LRV of 24.92% 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 24.92%, 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.
