What color is Behr Secret Scent?
Behr Secret Scent S110-1 is a very light, muted pink with a soft gray-lilac cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet. Its low saturation gives walls a powdery, almost chalky appearance, especially in broad daylight. Warm bulbs bring forward its blush side, while cooler or shaded rooms may make the gray-violet undertone more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, dressing areas, and quiet living spaces, and can also add a subtle tint to a ceiling or built-in shelving. Pair Secret Scent with soft white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or dusty green textiles for a restrained, layered palette.

What are Behr Secret Scent undertones?
Secret Scent is a light, very muted pale rose-beige. 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 Secret Scent
Secret Scent has an LRV of 70.83% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 70.83%, 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.
