What color is Behr Marmalade Glaze?
Behr Marmalade Glaze PPU3-02 is a warm, mid-depth orange-brown with clear terracotta character and a softly earthy base. Its muted saturation keeps the color from reading like a bright pumpkin orange, while the brown influence gives it substance on a full wall. In direct warm light, Marmalade Glaze can appear sunnier and more coppery; in cooler or dimmer conditions, it settles into a deeper clay tone. It suits dining rooms, kitchens, entryways, and accent walls where a grounded hit of color is wanted, and it can also make a memorable cabinet finish. Pair it with creamy off-whites, olive or sage greens, deep charcoal, natural oak, woven fibers, and aged brass for a material-rich look.

LRV of Marmalade Glaze
Marmalade Glaze has an LRV of 24.23% 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 24.23%, 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.
