What color is Behr Autumn Blush?
Behr Autumn Blush S220-1 is a light, muted blush-beige with a noticeably warm cast. Its soft peach and pink undertones keep it from reading like a standard cream, while the low saturation gives it a powdery, understated appearance. In bright daylight, this color can look pale and airy; under warmer evening lighting, its rosy beige character becomes more apparent. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and powder rooms where white might feel too crisp. Pair Autumn Blush with warm white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, and clay or terracotta accents for a grounded palette.

LRV of Autumn Blush
Autumn Blush has an LRV of 66.24% 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 66.24%, 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.
