What color is Behr Spiced Plum?

Behr Spiced Plum PPU1-20 is a muted, mid-dark plum that sits between softened berry and dusky brown. Its low-saturation finish keeps the color grounded, so it can feel more like a worn-in wine tone than a bright purple. In strong daylight, the plum character is clearer, while lower light draws out its deeper, shadowed side. Use it for a dining room, powder room, bedroom accent wall, or painted built-ins where a darker color can add definition. Pair Spiced Plum with warm ivory, mushroom beige, walnut wood, charcoal accents, and aged brass for a layered, earthy palette.

LRV of Spiced Plum

Spiced Plum has an LRV of 9.64% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 9.64%, 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.
