What color is Behr Sweet Chrysanthemum?
Behr Sweet Chrysanthemum HDC-MD-10A is a mid-tone rose pink with a clear berry cast and a lightly muted finish. Its red-pink base feels warm, while the blue note in the color keeps it from reading overly peachy or sugary. In bright daylight, Sweet Chrysanthemum appears fresher and more floral; under warmer evening lamps, it deepens toward a dusky rosy mauve. It makes a memorable choice for a powder room, bedroom accent wall, or painted vanity, especially alongside soft ivory, warm gray, natural oak, brass, and deep plum accents.

LRV of Sweet Chrysanthemum
Sweet Chrysanthemum has an LRV of 36.34% 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 36.34%, 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.
