What color is Behr Flirt Alert?
Behr Flirt Alert P150-7 is a strong, mid-depth red with a distinctly warm cast that reads close to brick or tomato red rather than berry. Its high saturation gives it plenty of presence, especially on a front door, dining room accent wall, or painted kitchen island. In bright daylight, this shade looks clearer and more energized; lower or warmer light can bring out its earthy red character. Pair Flirt Alert with soft cream, warm white, charcoal, or natural oak to give the color room to stand out. Matte black hardware and aged brass both provide a grounded contrast for cabinetry or exterior details.

LRV of Flirt Alert
Flirt Alert has an LRV of 14% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 14%, 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.
