What color is Behr Periwinkle?
Behr Periwinkle P530-4 is a light-to-medium blue with a softened, slightly violet-leaning cast. Its muted saturation keeps it from reading overly bright, giving walls clear color without the intensity of a primary blue. In cool daylight, it can appear cleaner and more blue-forward, while warmer interior lighting may bring out its gentler lavender notes. Try it in a bedroom, bath, or home office with crisp white trim, pale gray textiles, and light oak or maple finishes. For a more defined contrast, pair this shade with charcoal accents or deep navy details.

LRV of Periwinkle
Periwinkle has an LRV of 34.86% 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 34.86%, 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.
