What color is Behr Mesa Peach?
Behr Mesa Peach MQ1-51 is a muted, medium-light peach with a dusty clay cast and soft rosy-beige undertones. Its restrained saturation keeps it from reading sugary or overly orange, giving walls a grounded warmth instead. In bright daylight, Mesa Peach can show more of its peach and blush character, while evening light tends to bring out its earthy tan side. It suits bedrooms, dining rooms, and powder rooms where a warm color is wanted without heavy visual weight. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, aged brass, natural oak, or matte black details for contrast.

LRV of Mesa Peach
Mesa Peach has an LRV of 34.07% 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 34.07%, 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.
