What color is Behr Sweet Juliet?
Behr Sweet Juliet PPU15-15 is a light, muted blue-gray with a soft violet cast that keeps it from reading overly icy. Its low saturation gives walls a quiet, powdery appearance, while the cool undertone is most noticeable in bright daylight. In warmer evening light, Sweet Juliet can look a little softer and grayer. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and airy living spaces, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents. Use it on full walls for a gentle wash of color, or on cabinetry in a small space where a dark shade would feel too heavy.

LRV of Sweet Juliet
Sweet Juliet has an LRV of 52.13% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 52.13%, 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.
