What color is Behr Lapis Lazuli?
Behr Lapis Lazuli HDC-MD-02 is a medium blue with a softened, slightly muted cast rather than a sharp primary-blue intensity. Its balance of blue and grayish depth gives it a cool-leaning appearance that can feel clearer in daylight and more subdued under warm indoor lighting. Use it on a bedroom or home office wall where a noticeable color is wanted without making the room feel overly dark. Crisp white trim keeps the look clean, while pale gray, natural oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents give it a grounded finish. Lapis Lazuli also makes a strong option for painted cabinetry or a single exterior door paired with neutral siding.

LRV of Lapis Lazuli
Lapis Lazuli has an LRV of 25.48% 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 25.48%, 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.
