Behr

Medieval Wine

S100-7

Medieval Wine is a deep, muted burgundy with a brown-plum undertone. The browned plum undertone gives it an antique wine quality. This shade suits a dining room, library, powder room, or on furniture where low light and richness are welcome.

With LRV 34, it needs good lighting on walls. Cream trim and warm metal bring out the wine color. Cool gray flooring can make it look flat, so test the sample beside the surfaces that will stay.

Medieval Wine 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.
