What color is Behr Mandarin?
Behr Mandarin P210-6 is a clear, medium orange with a soft terracotta cast, shown here as #e88951. Its warm coral-peach undertone keeps the color grounded rather than neon-bright, giving it enough presence for a dining room feature wall, a sunny kitchen, or painted porch furniture. In strong daylight, Mandarin reads lighter and more peach-forward; under warm bulbs, its earthy orange character becomes more noticeable. Pair it with creamy off-whites, sandy beige, warm wood, and muted sage for a relaxed palette, or use charcoal and deep navy for sharper contrast. It is especially effective on accent walls, cabinetry, and doors where its saturated warmth can be appreciated in smaller, defined areas.

LRV of Mandarin
Mandarin has an LRV of 34.83% 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 34.83%, 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.
