What color is Behr Dazzle And Delight?
Behr Dazzle And Delight MQ1-27 is a muted peachy terracotta with a clear warm cast and a softened, clay-like depth. Its mix of rosy orange and beige keeps it from reading too bright, giving walls noticeable color without the sharpness of a vivid coral. In daylight, this shade can look like a sun-warmed apricot; under warmer evening bulbs, its earthy pink undertone becomes more apparent. It suits dining rooms, bedrooms, and powder rooms where a grounded, warm color is welcome. Pair Dazzle And Delight with creamy off-whites, camel-toned woods, aged brass, and natural linen, or use deep olive and charcoal accents for stronger contrast.

LRV of Dazzle And Delight
Dazzle And Delight has an LRV of 40.25% 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 40.25%, 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.
