What color is Behr 100 Mph?
Behr 100 Mph P170-7 is a vivid, high-saturation red with a clear warm cast, shown here as #c93f38. It has enough depth to read as bold rather than light, while its strong red presence keeps it energetic on a feature wall, front door, or painted furniture. Bright daylight will emphasize its clean, lively red character, while lower light can make the color appear deeper and more grounded. Pair it with crisp white trim for contrast, charcoal for a sharper modern look, or natural wood and warm brass for a richer finish. In larger doses, 100 Mph is best suited to spaces that can handle a confident color statement, such as a dining room, entry, or exterior accent.
LRV of 100 Mph
100 Mph has an LRV of 13.85% 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 13.85%, 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.
