What color is Behr Queen'S Violet?
Behr Queen'S Violet S110-3 is a light, muted violet with a noticeable gray-pink cast that keeps it soft rather than sugary. Its pale value gives walls a gentle wash of color, while the subdued saturation prevents the room from feeling overly purple. In daylight, this shade can read as a dusty lavender; under warmer bulbs, its rosy undertone may become more apparent. Try it in a bedroom, powder room, or quiet sitting area alongside soft white trim, pale oak, and brushed nickel. Charcoal accents, weathered wood, and deeper plum textiles can give Queen'S Violet more definition without overpowering its understated character.

LRV of Queen'S Violet
Queen'S Violet has an LRV of 52.83% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 52.83%, 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.
