What color is Behr High Maintenance?
Behr High Maintenance P120-3 is a mid-tone pink with noticeable violet and berry undertones, giving it more depth than a typical pale blush. Its #d88cb5 color value reads as a clear, moderately saturated orchid-rose that can look rosier in warm afternoon light and slightly cooler under daylight or LED lighting. Use it on a bedroom wall, a powder room, or a painted dresser when you want color to be present without turning the room overly dark. High Maintenance pairs well with soft white trim, charcoal accents, pale oak, and brushed brass hardware. For a more graphic look, contrast this shade with deep plum, inky navy, or muted green.

LRV of High Maintenance
High Maintenance has an LRV of 38.97% 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 38.97%, 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.
