What color is Behr Passion Fruit?
Behr Passion Fruit M100-5 is a muted mid-tone purple with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or bright. Its balance of violet and dusty mauve undertones gives walls a gently cool appearance, though warm daylight can bring out a little more of its plum side. Use it in a bedroom, reading nook, or powder room where a colored wall feels appropriate without becoming dominant. Passion Fruit pairs nicely with creamy off-whites, weathered oak, charcoal accents, and brushed nickel or aged brass hardware. It can also make a restrained accent on cabinetry or a built-in when surrounded by lighter neutral walls.

LRV of Passion Fruit
Passion Fruit has an LRV of 22.68% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 22.68%, 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.
