What color is Behr Sweet Romance?
Behr Sweet Romance P100-2 is a pale, powdery lavender with a noticeable pink cast, giving it a soft lilac appearance rather than a true purple. Its light value keeps the color airy on broad walls, while the muted saturation prevents it from reading overly sweet or bright. In daylight, Sweet Romance can show more of its cool lavender side; warmer bulbs tend to draw out its blush-pink undertone. It suits bedrooms, nurseries, dressing areas, or a softly colored powder room, especially when paired with warm white trim. Try it alongside pale oak, light maple, brushed brass, cream textiles, or subdued gray-taupe accents for a grounded finish.

LRV of Sweet Romance
Sweet Romance has an LRV of 68.18% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 68.18%, 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.
