What color is Behr Dash Of Curry?
Behr Dash Of Curry M170-6 is a medium-depth terracotta-coral with a softened red base and a noticeable warm peach cast. Its muted saturation keeps it from reading overly bright, while the warmth gives walls a grounded, sun-baked look. In direct daylight, Dash Of Curry can show more of its coral side; under warmer evening bulbs, it tends to settle into a deeper clay-red. Use it for a dining room, powder room, front door, or an accent wall where a stronger color is welcome. It pairs well with creamy off-whites, dusty olive greens, warm wood, aged brass, and natural woven textures.

LRV of Dash Of Curry
Dash Of Curry has an LRV of 24.72% 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 24.72%, 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.
