What color is Behr Red My Mind?
Behr Red My Mind MQ1-10 is a deep, muted red with a noticeable earthy cast that keeps it from reading overly bright or candy-like. Its warmth comes through in daylight, where the color shows a weathered brick-red character, while lower light can make it appear richer and more shadowed. Use it on a dining room wall, a front door, or built-in cabinetry when the room needs a grounded hit of color. Red My Mind pairs well with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, warm natural wood, black metal, and aged brass. On a large wall, balance this shade with lighter trim and furnishings so its depth remains intentional rather than heavy.

LRV of Red My Mind
Red My Mind has an LRV of 11% 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 11%, 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.
