What color is Behr Timeless Ruby?
Behr Timeless Ruby HDC-CL-01 is a medium-deep red with a muted, slightly dusky cast rather than a bright primary-red look. Its color value gives it enough richness for a dining room, powder room, or an accent wall behind a bed or fireplace. Timeless Ruby can bring noticeable depth to a space, so it is especially effective when paired with warm white trim, soft beige upholstery, or pale oak flooring. For a cleaner contrast, combine this shade with charcoal, black metal, and aged brass details. It can also make a distinctive choice for cabinetry or a painted front door when surrounded by lighter neutral finishes.

LRV of Timeless Ruby
Timeless Ruby has an LRV of 11.01% 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 11.01%, 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.
