What color is Behr Apple Turnover?
Behr Apple Turnover M250-3 is a light, warm peach-beige with a softly muted, creamy appearance. Its orange-pink undertone keeps it warmer than a standard beige, while the pale value prevents it from feeling overly sweet or saturated. On walls, Apple Turnover can bring gentle warmth to bedrooms, dining rooms, or north-facing spaces that need a little visual lift. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven grasses, and brushed brass for a grounded, sun-washed look. Deep clay, terracotta, or muted olive accents add contrast without pulling this shade away from its mellow warmth.

LRV of Apple Turnover
Apple Turnover has an LRV of 57.38% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 57.38%, 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.
