What color is Behr Hint Of Violet?
Behr Hint Of Violet PPU16-08 is a light, cool-toned gray with a soft blue-violet cast visible beneath its pale surface. Its low saturation keeps the color airy and restrained rather than overtly purple, making it well suited to bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet living spaces. In bright daylight, the blue-gray side of the shade may come forward, while warmer artificial light can make its subtle violet influence easier to notice. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents for a clean, layered look. Hint Of Violet is especially effective across full walls or on cabinetry where a faint wash of color is wanted without strong contrast.

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 66.75%, 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.
