What color is Behr Colorful Leaves?
Behr Colorful Leaves M190-7 is a medium-deep, earthy terracotta with a clear red-brown cast. Its #aa5c43 value gives it a warm, grounded presence that reads richer than a muted clay but less intense than a true brick red. Use it on a dining room accent wall, a powder room, or painted cabinetry where its saturated warmth can be a focal point. Creamy off-whites, warm sand tones, and natural oak keep the look relaxed, while charcoal hardware or dark bronze fixtures add useful contrast. In brighter light, Colorful Leaves will show more of its baked-orange character; lower light can bring forward its deeper brown-red side.

LRV of Colorful Leaves
Colorful Leaves has an LRV of 16.5% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 16.5%, 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.
