What color is Behr I Heart Potion?
Behr I Heart Potion P100-5 is a muted medium purple with a noticeable lavender cast and a softly grayed finish. Its balance of red and blue keeps it from reading overly sweet, giving the color a slightly cool, dusty appearance on walls. In bright daylight, I Heart Potion can look lighter and more lilac, while lower or warmer lighting may bring out its softer mauve side. It suits bedrooms, reading nooks, and powder rooms, especially alongside creamy white trim, pale gray, charcoal, or natural oak. For a more defined use, try this shade on a feature wall or painted cabinetry with brushed nickel or matte black hardware.

LRV of I Heart Potion
I Heart Potion has an LRV of 28.61% 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 28.61%, 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.
