What color is Behr Indigo Batik?
Behr Indigo Batik P530-6 is a medium-deep, cool blue with a softened, slightly muted finish rather than an inky or overly vivid look. Its #4467a7 color value gives it enough brightness for a full wall in a bedroom, office, or reading nook, while still providing clear contrast against white trim. In daylight, Indigo Batik reads as a clean blue; in lower light, it settles into a deeper, more shaded tone. Pair it with warm white, pale gray, natural oak, woven linen, or brushed brass to offset its cool character, or use it on cabinetry and a front door for a defined blue accent.

LRV of Indigo Batik
Indigo Batik has an LRV of 12.86% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 12.86%, 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.
