What color is Behr Coral Fountain?
Behr Coral Fountain MQ4-03 is a light, muted coral-pink with a soft peach cast and a gentle rosy base. Its low-to-medium saturation keeps it from reading too sugary, giving walls a washed, powdery look rather than a bright tropical one. In sunny rooms, Coral Fountain can appear warmer and more peach-forward, while lower or cooler light brings out its subdued pink-beige side. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and dining spaces, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibers, or brushed brass. For contrast, pair this color with dusty olive, deep charcoal, or a grounded terracotta-brown accent.

LRV of Coral Fountain
Coral Fountain has an LRV of 48.85% 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 48.85%, 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.
