What color is Behr Shy Violet?
Behr Shy Violet 680F-6 is a deep, muted purple with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading sugary or overly bright. In daylight, it can show a dusty plum tone, while warm lamps bring out its softer wine-colored undertones. It has enough depth for a dining room, library, or bedroom accent wall, and it also makes plain cabinetry feel more deliberate. Pair it with warm white trim, medium oak, aged brass, and natural linen for contrast, or use charcoal and dark green for a moodier scheme. In a north-facing room, this shade may look cooler and more shadowed, so good lighting is worth considering before using it across every wall.

LRV of Shy Violet
Shy Violet has an LRV of 14% 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 14%, 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.
