What color is Behr Magic Wand?
Behr Magic Wand P560-4 is a light, muted lavender with a noticeable cool violet cast and a softly grayed finish. Its moderate brightness keeps it from reading overly sweet or pastel, giving walls a calm wash of purple that still has presence. In bright daylight, Magic Wand can appear cleaner and slightly bluer, while warmer evening lighting draws out its gentler lilac side. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and reading nooks, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents. For a more grounded palette, pair this color with mushroom taupe, deep plum, or blue-gray textiles.

LRV of Magic Wand
Magic Wand has an LRV of 40.34% 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 40.34%, 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.
