What color is Behr Chick Flick?
Behr Chick Flick MQ1-12 is a muted rose pink with a noticeable dusty, gray-softened cast. Its red-based warmth keeps it from reading overly sweet, while the restrained saturation gives it enough depth for full walls in a bedroom, powder room, or reading nook. In bright daylight, Chick Flick can appear like a softened berry pink; under warmer evening bulbs, it leans richer and more terracotta-rose. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, charcoal accents, or natural oak for contrast that feels grounded rather than sugary. It also makes a strong choice for a painted dresser, interior door, or small accent wall where its medium depth can stand out.

LRV of Chick Flick
Chick Flick has an LRV of 28.53% 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 28.53%, 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.
