Behr

Renaissance

PPU16-20

Renaissance leans deep blue violet with a smoky charcoal finish. It is genuinely dark at LRV 27, so it works best as a deliberate mood color. Try it in a powder room, media room, or on bedroom built ins with warm lamps.

The violet gives it depth. Pair with alabaster trim, dark walnut, or brushed brass, and avoid cool white LEDs that can harden it.

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.
