What color is Behr Apple Blossom?
Behr Apple Blossom M150-3 is a muted blush pink with a soft rosy cast and enough grayness to keep it from reading overly sweet. Its medium-light depth gives walls noticeable color while still feeling gentle rather than heavy. In daylight, Apple Blossom tends to show its dusty rose character, while warm evening bulbs can bring out a slightly peachier impression. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and dressing areas, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, linen, and brushed brass. For contrast, pair this shade with charcoal, deep olive, or a subdued blue-gray in textiles and furnishings.

LRV of Apple Blossom
Apple Blossom has an LRV of 48.38% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 48.38%, 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.
