What color is Behr Wizard'S Potion?
Behr Wizard'S Potion P550-6 is a medium-depth blue-violet with a softened, slightly gray cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its cool blue base is clear, while the violet influence gives the color a gentle periwinkle character. In daylight, Wizard'S Potion can appear cleaner and more blue; under warm bulbs, its purple side becomes more noticeable. It has enough depth for a bedroom wall, study, or dining room, and it also makes a strong choice for painted built-ins or an accent wall. Pair it with soft off-white trim, pale gray upholstery, light oak, or brushed nickel for a crisp, grounded contrast.

LRV of Wizard'S Potion
Wizard'S Potion has an LRV of 13.3% 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 13.3%, 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.
