What color is Behr Mauvette?
Behr Mauvette PPU17-10 is a light, muted blush-beige with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly pink. Its low saturation gives walls a gently weathered, plaster-like look, especially in rooms with natural wood or linen textures. In bright daylight, Mauvette can appear like a pale warm greige with a hint of rosy warmth, while lower or cooler light brings out its gray undertone. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and living areas where a quiet alternative to standard beige is wanted. Pair it with creamy off-whites, mushroom-toned upholstery, oak, walnut, aged brass, or charcoal accents for grounded contrast.

LRV of Mauvette
Mauvette has an LRV of 47.02% 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 47.02%, 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.
