What color is Behr Fireplace Glow?
Behr Fireplace Glow M190-5 is a muted warm clay color with a rosy peach cast and enough brown to keep it grounded. Its medium depth gives walls noticeable color without reading overly bright, especially alongside soft white trim or pale beige upholstery. In daylight, Fireplace Glow can show its sun-baked terracotta side, while evening light tends to bring out the softer pink-brown undertone. It suits dining rooms, entryways, and powder rooms, and can also make a distinctive choice for a painted fireplace surround or built-in cabinetry. Pair this shade with creamy whites, natural oak, woven textures, olive green accents, or deep charcoal for contrast.

LRV of Fireplace Glow
Fireplace Glow has an LRV of 33.83% 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 33.83%, 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.
