What color is Behr Sultana?
Behr Sultana P100-7 is a deep, muted purple with nearly even red and blue influence, giving it a grounded plum appearance rather than a strongly warm or cool cast. Its dark value makes it read almost charcoal-purple in low light, while brighter daylight brings out more of its violet character. Use it on a dining room wall, library, or powder room for concentrated color without the brightness of a lighter purple. Sultana also suits cabinetry, especially alongside soft off-white walls, pale gray stone, brushed brass, or natural oak. For a cleaner contrast, pair this shade with crisp white trim and black metal accents.

LRV of Sultana
Sultana has an LRV of 9.05% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 9.05%, 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.
