What color is Behr Vintner?
Behr Vintner M100-6 is a muted, mid-deep purple with a gray cast that keeps it grounded rather than overly sweet. Its subtle plum and mauve undertones are most noticeable in balanced daylight, while lower light can make it read as a shadowy charcoal-violet. This color brings useful depth to a dining room, bedroom, or small powder room, especially when paired with warm white trim. Pale oak, walnut, aged brass, and soft taupe textiles all complement Vintner’s dusty purple character. It also makes a strong choice for an accent wall or painted cabinetry where a near-neutral with more personality is wanted.

LRV of Vintner
Vintner has an LRV of 11% 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%, 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.
