What color is Behr Peru?
Behr Peru PPU1-18 is a muted plum with a noticeable dusty rose cast, sitting between purple and berry rather than reading as a true violet. Its mid-dark depth gives walls presence without the heaviness of a near-black aubergine. In bright daylight, Peru can show more of its softened mauve side, while lower evening light draws out its deeper wine-purple character. It suits a dining room, bedroom, powder room, or a focused accent wall where a richer color is welcome. Pair it with warm off-white trim, natural oak, aged brass, and soft gray-beige textiles for contrast that keeps the color grounded.

LRV of Peru
Peru has an LRV of 15.43% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 15.43%, 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.
