What color is Behr Candlelight Dinner?
Behr Candlelight Dinner S120-3 is a muted, light-to-mid-tone pink with a noticeable gray cast and soft mauve undertones. Its restrained saturation keeps it from reading overly sweet, giving walls a powdery, gently weathered appearance. In bright daylight, this color can appear like a pale dusty rose, while lower or cooler light may bring out its quieter lavender-gray side. It suits bedrooms, dressing areas, powder rooms, or a softly colored living room wall, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, brushed brass, and natural linen. For more contrast, pair Candlelight Dinner with deep charcoal, muted plum, or a dark walnut finish.

LRV of Candlelight Dinner
Candlelight Dinner has an LRV of 50.48% 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 50.48%, 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.
