What color is Behr Second Pour?
Behr Second Pour M560-5 is a muted mid-tone purple with a noticeable gray cast, sitting between dusty lavender and soft violet. Its blue-leaning undertone gives it a cool appearance, while the softened saturation keeps it from reading overly sweet or bright. In daylight, it can look like a calm gray-purple; under warm bulbs, the violet character becomes more apparent. Use it on a bedroom wall, a reading nook, or painted cabinetry where a measured wash of color is wanted. Pair Second Pour with warm white trim, charcoal accents, pale oak, brushed nickel, or muted blush textiles for contrast without making the room feel busy.

LRV of Second Pour
Second Pour has an LRV of 23.31% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 23.31%, 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.
