What color is Behr Cabana Melon?
Behr Cabana Melon MQ4-39 is a warm, muted coral-orange with a soft clay-like cast. Its blend of peach, terracotta, and dusty pink notes gives it more depth than a pale apricot while keeping it lighter than a traditional brick red. In bright daylight, Cabana Melon can read as a sun-warmed peach, while lower or warmer lighting draws out its earthier orange-brown side. It brings welcome color to dining rooms, powder rooms, and entryways, and can also make a characterful accent wall behind a bed or sofa. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm beige, natural oak, woven rattan, or matte black hardware for contrast.

LRV of Cabana Melon
Cabana Melon has an LRV of 30.5% 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 30.5%, 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.
