What color is Behr Royal Raisin?
Behr Royal Raisin N110-5 is a muted, medium-depth mauve-gray with a subtle dusty rose cast. Its restrained saturation keeps the color grounded, reading as a softened charcoal-taupe in low light and showing more of its warm plum-gray character in brighter daylight. Royal Raisin suits bedroom walls, dining rooms, and home offices where a darker neutral can add definition without feeling stark. Pair it with creamy off-whites, weathered oak, aged brass, and muted green accents for a layered, lived-in look. On cabinetry or an accent wall, this shade has enough depth to stand out against pale trim and light stone surfaces.

What are Behr Royal Raisin undertones?
Royal Raisin is a midtone, very muted brownish taupe. The HEX sample has a subtle pink-red bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear pink-red. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Royal Raisin
Royal Raisin has an LRV of 17.76% 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 17.76%, 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.
