What color is Behr Heart Breaker?

Behr Heart Breaker P120-4 is a medium rose pink with a noticeable violet cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet. Its muted saturation gives the color enough presence for a bedroom wall, powder room, or painted accent furniture without overwhelming the room. In bright daylight, Heart Breaker can appear clearer and slightly more pink, while lower light brings forward its dusky mauve side. Pair it with soft off-white trim, charcoal gray, or deep plum accents for contrast, and add pale oak or walnut to ground the rosy tone.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 30.16%, 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.
