What color is Behr Misty Lavender?
Behr Misty Lavender S570-1 is a very light, muted lavender-gray with a soft cool cast and low saturation. Its pale value keeps walls looking airy, while the subtle violet tint adds more character than a standard off-white or light gray. In bright daylight, Misty Lavender can read nearly silvery, while lower or warmer lighting tends to bring out its gentle lavender note. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet reading spaces, especially alongside crisp white trim, weathered oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents. For a restrained layered palette, pair this shade with soft greige textiles and deeper plum or blue-gray details.

LRV of Misty Lavender
Misty Lavender has an LRV of 70.36% 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 70.36%, 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.
