What color is Behr Japanese Koi?
Behr Japanese Koi P210-7 is a deep, warm orange with a clear earthy cast, sitting between clay terracotta and burnished apricot. Its substantial saturation gives it enough presence for a front door, dining room accent wall, or painted built-ins. In bright daylight, Japanese Koi reads cleaner and more lively, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its browned, clay-like depth. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm beige, muted olive, or charcoal for contrast, and use natural oak, leather, linen, and matte black hardware to ground the color.

LRV of Japanese Koi
Japanese Koi has an LRV of 27.84% 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 27.84%, 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.
