What color is Behr Majestic Blue?
Behr Majestic Blue HDC-MD-01 is a deep, muted blue with a noticeable gray cast and a subtle violet lean. Its low-brightness character gives walls a grounded, shadowy presence rather than a crisp or highly saturated blue look. In bright daylight, the blue reads more clearly, while lower light can draw out its charcoal-like depth. Use it in a study, bedroom, or dining room where a darker wall color can define the room, or apply it to cabinetry for a quiet contrast against pale counters. Soft white trim, weathered oak, matte black hardware, and dusty gray-beige textiles all suit this shade well.

LRV of Majestic Blue
Majestic Blue has an LRV of 6.29% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 6.29%, 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.
