What color is Behr Plush Purple?
Behr Plush Purple S570-7A is a deep, muted purple with a pronounced gray cast, giving it a grounded, shadowy appearance rather than a bright violet look. Its cool-leaning character can read almost like charcoal with a plum note in lower light, while daylight brings out more of the purple. Use it on a bedroom accent wall, a home office, or built-in cabinetry where a dark color can add definition without looking black. Pair Plush Purple with soft off-white trim, pale gray walls, weathered oak, or brushed nickel for a clean contrast. Warm brass, cognac leather, and dusty rose textiles can also bring out its subtle warmth.

LRV of Plush Purple
Plush Purple has an LRV of 10.91% 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 10.91%, 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.
