What color is Behr Smokey Lilac?
Behr Smokey Lilac PPU26-20 is a muted mid-tone gray with a faint cool, blue-leaning cast. Its low saturation keeps the color quiet and neutral-looking, though the slight lift in blue can make it read a touch cooler beside warm whites and natural wood. In brighter daylight, it appears like a soft, clean gray; lower or north-facing light may bring out its cooler cast more noticeably. Use it on bedroom, office, or living room walls where a measured gray is wanted without a stark, silvery finish. It also suits cabinetry or built-ins paired with creamy white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, and soft off-white textiles.

LRV of Smokey Lilac
Smokey Lilac has an LRV of 33.72% 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 33.72%, 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.
