What color is Behr Vixen?
Behr Vixen PPU17-03 is a deep, muted plum with softened violet and reddish-brown undertones. Its low-light value gives it a grounded presence, while the grayed quality keeps the purple from reading overly bright or sweet. In daylight, Vixen can show more of its dusty berry character; under warm evening lamps, it may appear richer and closer to an aubergine-brown. It makes a strong choice for a dining room, powder room, or study wall, and can also bring depth to painted cabinetry. Pair this shade with creamy off-whites, weathered oak, black metal, or warm brass for contrast that feels considered rather than stark.

LRV of Vixen
Vixen has an LRV of 7.22% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 7.22%, 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.
