What color is Behr Lilac Fields?
Behr Lilac Fields HDC-AC-26A is a muted medium gray with a noticeable cool blue cast and a faint violet-gray character. Its low saturation keeps it restrained rather than overtly colorful, making it read as a soft colored neutral across broad walls. In north-facing or cool artificial light, the blue-gray side is likely to appear clearer, while warmer daylight can soften the contrast without turning it warm. Use it in bedrooms, home offices, or bathrooms alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal textiles. For a more defined application, Lilac Fields also suits cabinetry or an accent wall paired with off-white walls and deeper slate-blue details.

LRV of Lilac Fields
Lilac Fields has an LRV of 29.33% 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 29.33%, 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.
