What color is Behr Royal Liqueur?
Behr Royal Liqueur PPU2-19 is a medium-dark brown with a noticeable muted red cast, giving it an earthy, clay-like appearance rather than a flat neutral brown. Its depth makes it especially effective on dining room walls, a den, or built-in cabinetry where a grounded color can define the architecture. In bright natural light, Royal Liqueur reads as a softened reddish brown, while lower light brings out its deeper, more shaded character. Pair it with warm ivory, sand, or putty neutrals, along with walnut, aged brass, and natural leather for a cohesive finish.

LRV of Royal Liqueur
Royal Liqueur has an LRV of 10.05% 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 10.05%, 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.
