What color is Behr Blazing Autumn?
Behr Blazing Autumn M220-6A is a medium-depth orange with a softened terracotta cast, sitting between clay, baked apricot, and warm caramel. Its muted saturation keeps the color grounded rather than neon-bright, making it especially effective for a dining room, entry, or sunlit living space. In direct daylight, the peachy-orange side becomes more noticeable, while evening lighting can draw out its deeper earthy warmth. Pair Blazing Autumn with creamy off-whites, sandy beige, weathered wood, and matte black hardware for contrast. It also makes a strong choice for an accent wall, painted front door, or lower cabinetry where its warmth can be used in a more concentrated dose.

LRV of Blazing Autumn
Blazing Autumn has an LRV of 34.24% 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 34.24%, 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.
