What color is Behr Cheerful Tangerine?
Behr Cheerful Tangerine P210-5 is a clear, light orange with a peachy cast, reading warm and sunny without becoming deep or burnt. Its high brightness keeps the color playful on a feature wall, a breakfast nook, or painted furniture such as a small cabinet or side table. In warm artificial light, the orange side becomes more pronounced, while cooler daylight can bring forward its softer peach notes. Pair Cheerful Tangerine with creamy white trim, pale sand tones, light oak, or matte brass for a warm, grounded look. For contrast, use restrained touches of dusty blue or blue-green rather than very dark neutrals.

LRV of Cheerful Tangerine
Cheerful Tangerine has an LRV of 48.41% 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 48.41%, 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.
