What color is Behr Melon Sorbet?
Behr Melon Sorbet P190-3 is a light, warm peach with a clear pink cast and a soft touch of orange. Its pale value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the noticeable color gives it more presence than a neutral blush. In daylight, this shade reads fresh and creamy; warmer evening bulbs can draw out its coral-peach side. It suits a breakfast nook, powder room, child’s room, or a single accent wall, especially alongside warm white trim, light oak, woven natural fibers, and muted olive or dusty blue details.

LRV of Melon Sorbet
Melon Sorbet has an LRV of 56.91% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 56.91%, 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.
