What color is Behr Blazing Bonfire?
Behr Blazing Bonfire P250-7 is a vivid, high-energy orange with a sunny golden cast rather than a red-heavy or rusted look. Its strong saturation makes it best suited to accents: a front door, dining chairs, a painted bookcase, or a small powder-room wall. In bright daylight, this shade reads clear and citrusy, while warmer artificial light can bring out its richer amber side. Pair Blazing Bonfire with crisp white trim, charcoal, deep navy, or muted olive to give the color definition. Natural wood, black metal, and pale concrete finishes help ground its brightness without dulling it.

LRV of Blazing Bonfire
Blazing Bonfire has an LRV of 43.6% 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 43.6%, 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.
