What color is Behr Balcony Sunset?
Behr Balcony Sunset MQ4-38 is a muted warm coral with a clay-like orange base and softened rosy undertones. Its mid-tone depth gives it enough presence for a full wall without reading overly bright or sugary. In direct afternoon light, the color can appear sunnier and more peach-forward, while lower or cooler light brings out its dusty terracotta side. Try it in a dining room, powder room, or on a painted accent wall with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, and natural oak. Matte black hardware, woven cane, aged brass, and handmade-looking ceramic finishes give Balcony Sunset a grounded, lived-in look.

LRV of Balcony Sunset
Balcony Sunset has an LRV of 35.22% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 35.22%, 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.
