What color is Behr Hibiscus Flower?
Behr Hibiscus Flower P140-6 is a medium-depth rose red with a softened, slightly dusty finish rather than a bright, candy-like pink. Its red base carries a faint berry cast, giving the color a gently cool edge while still reading warm and grounded overall. In bright daylight, Hibiscus Flower can look clearer and more rosy; lower or warmer light brings out its deeper, earthier red character. It makes a strong choice for a powder room, dining room, or painted front door, and can also add definition to an accent wall or built-in cabinetry. Pair it with warm white trim, pale blush neutrals, natural oak, aged brass, or charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Hibiscus Flower
Hibiscus Flower has an LRV of 17.89% 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 17.89%, 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.
