What color is Behr Strong Iris?
Behr Strong Iris M550-7 is a deep, muted blue-violet with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its cool character reads closer to a smoky indigo in daylight, while lower or warmer lighting can bring out its softened purple side. This shade has enough depth for a dramatic bedroom wall, study, or dining room, yet its restrained saturation prevents it from feeling overly vivid. Pair Strong Iris with crisp white trim, weathered oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal textiles for a layered, modern look. It also makes a strong choice for cabinetry or a painted built-in when balanced with pale stone or warm off-white walls.

LRV of Strong Iris
Strong Iris has an LRV of 12.44% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 12.44%, 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.
