What color is Behr Art Deco Pink?
Behr Art Deco Pink MQ1-50 is a muted, clay-leaning pink with warm beige undertones that keep it grounded rather than sugary. Its mid-light depth gives walls noticeable color while remaining soft enough for a bedroom, powder room, or dining area. In bright daylight, Art Deco Pink reads as a dusty blush; under warmer evening light, its earthy tan notes become more apparent. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm walnut, natural linen, and aged brass for a layered, lived-in look. It can also make a pleasing accent on cabinetry or a painted interior door alongside deeper brown, olive, or charcoal details.

LRV of Art Deco Pink
Art Deco Pink has an LRV of 45.97% 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 45.97%, 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.
