Behr

Cherished

M110-4

Cherished lands in the muted mauve family, softened by gray and a little beige. It leans dusty. On a full wall, the purple note feels more grown-up than sugary, especially beside walnut furniture or charcoal fabric.

Consider it for a dressing room, powder bath, or quiet bedroom where color can feel personal without shouting. Cool daylight sharpens the lavender side, so warm bulbs and creamy trim help keep the shade approachable.

Cherished in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
