What color is Behr Posture & Pose?
Behr Posture & Pose N560-1 is a pale, muted lavender-gray with a soft cool cast and very low saturation. Its subtle violet note keeps it from reading like a plain light gray, while the balanced amount of gray prevents it from becoming sugary or overtly purple. In bright daylight, this shade can appear airy and silvery; lower or warmer lighting may bring out its gentle lilac character. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet living areas, especially on full walls where its nuanced color has room to show. Pair Posture & Pose with crisp white trim, charcoal accents, pale oak, brushed nickel, or deeper plum-toned textiles for definition.

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 56.36%, 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.
