What color is Behr Etiquette?
Behr Etiquette S120-2 is a pale, muted pink with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading sugary or overly sweet. Its rosy undertone is visible in daylight, while lower or warmer lighting can bring out a slightly dustier, more subdued blush. This light-value shade suits bedroom walls, a powder room, or a nursery where a gentle color is wanted without strong saturation. Pair Etiquette with warm white trim, pale oak, brushed brass, and soft taupe textiles for a grounded look. For more contrast, charcoal accents or deep plum details give this color added definition.

What are Behr Etiquette undertones?
Etiquette is a light, very muted pale rose-beige. The HEX sample has a subtle pink-red bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear pink-red. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Etiquette
Etiquette has an LRV of 67.17% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 67.17%, 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.
