What color is Behr Acapulco Sun?
Behr Acapulco Sun P230-7 is a clear, high-energy orange with a warm peachy cast and enough depth to read as a confident color rather than a pale apricot. Its #eb8a44 value suggests a sun-baked orange that can look slightly softer and more golden in warm daylight, while cooler artificial light may bring out its red-orange side. Use it on a dining room accent wall, a powder room, or painted furniture where a strong hit of color feels intentional. Acapulco Sun pairs well with creamy off-whites, sandy beige, terracotta tile, natural oak, and matte black details. On cabinetry or exterior trim, it is best treated as a focal point rather than a broad neutral backdrop.

LRV of Acapulco Sun
Acapulco Sun has an LRV of 34.83% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 34.83%, 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.
