What color is Behr Emergency Zone?
Behr Emergency Zone P190-6 is a vivid orange-red with a clear warm cast and substantial saturation. Its #e36940 color value reads as a sunbaked coral-orange in bright daylight, while lower light can bring out its deeper red-orange side. Use it where a strong hit of color is welcome: a front door, kitchen island, dining-room accent wall, or a painted piece of furniture. Creamy whites and warm beige soften its intensity, while charcoal, deep navy, and matte black give it sharper contrast. Natural oak, terracotta tile, and aged brass are especially compatible materials for this shade.

LRV of Emergency Zone
Emergency Zone has an LRV of 25.12% 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 25.12%, 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.
