What color is Behr Love At First Sight?
Behr Love At First Sight P140-3 is a light, softly muted pink with a rosy cast and a gentle touch of mauve. Its medium-light value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the subdued saturation prevents it from reading like a bright candy pink. In daylight, this shade can look like a powdery blush; warmer evening bulbs tend to bring forward its peach-rose warmth. Try it in a bedroom, dressing area, or powder room with creamy white trim, pale oak, brushed brass, and linen textures. For contrast, pair Love At First Sight with charcoal gray, deep olive, or a muted burgundy accent.

LRV of Love At First Sight
Love At First Sight has an LRV of 48.82% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 48.82%, 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.
