What color is Behr Cameo Rose?
Behr Cameo Rose PPU17-15 is a muted, mid-depth pink with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet. Its soft red undertone gives the color gentle warmth, while the close green and blue values lend it a slightly dusty, mauve-leaning appearance. In bright daylight, Cameo Rose can look like a quiet rosy neutral; under warmer lamps, its pink character becomes more apparent. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and living-room walls where a color is wanted without a high-saturation finish. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, charcoal, aged brass, or natural oak for a grounded palette.

What are Behr Cameo Rose undertones?
Cameo Rose is a midtone, very muted muted taupe. The HEX sample has a subtle red bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear red. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Cameo Rose
Cameo Rose has an LRV of 28.9% 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 28.9%, 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.
