What color is Behr Matador'S Cape?
Behr Matador'S Cape M160-6 is a medium-depth, warm coral-red with a softened, dusty cast rather than a bright tomato intensity. Its pink-red base carries a touch of earthy warmth, making it a strong but approachable choice for a dining room, powder room, or painted front door. In bright daylight, the color can look clearer and more coral, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its muted terracotta side. Pair Matador'S Cape with creamy off-whites, warm beige upholstery, natural oak, or aged brass for a grounded interior palette. It also makes a lively accent on cabinetry or an exterior door against pale neutral siding.

LRV of Matador'S Cape

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 25.63%, 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.
