What color is Behr Apricot Freeze?
Behr Apricot Freeze M210-3 is a light, warm peach with a soft blush of orange and a creamy beige cast. Its pale value keeps it from reading overly sweet, so it can bring gentle color to walls without making a room feel heavily saturated. In bright daylight, Apricot Freeze appears clearer and more peach-forward; under warmer artificial light, its beige undertone becomes more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, nurseries, powder rooms, and dining spaces where a subtle warm wash is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven linen, muted terracotta, or dusty green accents for a grounded palette.

LRV of Apricot Freeze
Apricot Freeze has an LRV of 67.85% 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 67.85%, 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.
