What color is Behr Castilian Pink?
Behr Castilian Pink S170-3 is a light, muted blush with a noticeable beige cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or bright. Its soft red-pink undertone gives the color gentle warmth, while the low saturation makes it feel powdery and understated on broad walls. In cooler natural light, Castilian Pink can appear more neutral and slightly grayed; warm evening lighting tends to draw out its rosy side. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and living areas with warm white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, or aged brass details. For contrast, pair this shade with creamy ivory, muted clay tones, or deep brown accents rather than crisp blue-based whites.

LRV of Castilian Pink
Castilian Pink has an LRV of 50.19% 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 50.19%, 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.
