What color is Behr Mozart?
Behr Mozart PPU15-02 is a muted, medium-deep blue with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly bright or sporty. Its cool blue base carries a slight violet-leaning depth, especially in lower light, where it can appear closer to a softened ink blue. On a sunlit wall, Mozart shows more of its dusty blue character without losing its grounded weight. It makes a strong choice for a study, dining room, or bedroom accent wall, and can also give built-in cabinetry a tailored look. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, charcoal textiles, or soft clay-toned accents for contrast.

LRV of Mozart
Mozart has an LRV of 9.41% 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 9.41%, 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.
