What color is Behr Magic Scent?
Behr Magic Scent S570-2 is a pale gray-lavender with a soft violet cast and a distinctly cool lean. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly purple, so it can appear nearly silvery gray in bright daylight while its lavender undertone becomes clearer in dimmer or warmer artificial light. This shade is well suited to bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet reading areas where a light-colored wall is wanted without using plain white. Pair it with crisp white trim, charcoal details, pale oak, or brushed nickel for a clean, understated palette. On cabinetry or a small accent wall, Magic Scent can add gentle color while maintaining an airy look.

LRV of Magic Scent
Magic Scent has an LRV of 59.96% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 59.96%, 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.
