What color is Behr Exotic Blossom?
Behr Exotic Blossom P240-6 is a vivid, warm orange with a clear peachy-golden cast. Its high saturation gives it real presence, especially in sunlit rooms where it can read brighter and more energetic. Use it on a front door, dining-room accent wall, or a painted piece of furniture when the room needs a concentrated hit of color. Creamy whites, sandy beige, pale wood, and warm brass help ground Exotic Blossom without muting its character. For contrast, deep blue or blue-green accessories can make this shade feel especially crisp.

LRV of Exotic Blossom
Exotic Blossom has an LRV of 43.19% 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 43.19%, 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.
