What color is Behr Plum Royale?
Behr Plum Royale S110-6 is a muted medium plum with a dusty mauve cast and enough gray to keep it from reading overly purple. Its red-leaning base gives the color a gently warm impression, while the soft blue-violet influence becomes more noticeable in cooler daylight. On bedroom or dining room walls, Plum Royale brings grounded color without the visual weight of a very dark eggplant shade. Pair it with warm white trim, mushroom beige, charcoal, or natural oak for a restrained palette, or use brushed brass and aged bronze for contrast. It also makes a thoughtful choice for a powder room vanity, built-in shelving, or an accent wall where a subdued berry tone is wanted.

LRV of Plum Royale
Plum Royale has an LRV of 18.17% 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 18.17%, 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.
