What color is Behr Medieval Wine?
Behr Medieval Wine S100-7 is a deep, muted plum-gray with a noticeable dusty quality rather than a bright berry tone. Its blend of softened violet and brown-gray undertones gives it a grounded, low-saturation look that can read nearly charcoal in dim rooms. In brighter natural light, the subtle plum cast becomes easier to see, adding depth without making the wall feel overly colorful. It suits powder rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, or a den where a darker wall color can create definition. Pair Medieval Wine with warm ivory, mushroom beige, blackened bronze, walnut, or aged brass for a layered, material-rich palette.

LRV of Medieval Wine
Medieval Wine has an LRV of 9.8% 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 9.8%, 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.
