What color is Behr Strawberry Wine?

Behr Strawberry Wine MQ4-02 is a mid-depth, muted red with a soft rosy cast rather than a sharp, primary-red look. Its balanced red-pink character brings noticeable color to a room while the grayed quality keeps it from reading overly bright. In warm evening light, Strawberry Wine can appear richer and more red-forward; cooler daylight tends to reveal its dusty rose side. Use it on a dining room wall, a powder room, or painted furniture where a grounded color statement is wanted. Pair this shade with creamy off-whites, charcoal, warm taupe, natural oak, aged brass, or black accents for a considered contrast.

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 24.46%, 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.
