What color is Behr Lavender Honor?
Behr Lavender Honor S560-2 is a light, muted lavender-gray with a noticeable cool blue cast. Its low saturation keeps the color soft and restrained rather than overtly purple, making it especially suitable for bedrooms, bathrooms, or a quiet home office. In bright daylight, the pale blue-gray side of the shade may come forward, while lower or warmer light can make its lavender character more apparent. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for a clean, grounded contrast. On walls, Lavender Honor provides gentle color without making a room feel visually heavy.

LRV of Lavender Honor
Lavender Honor has an LRV of 54.67% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 54.67%, 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.
