What color is Behr Moroccan Sky?
Behr Moroccan Sky PPU3-01 is a muted clay-toned orange with warm brown and soft terracotta undertones. Its mid-depth value gives it enough presence for a full dining room or entry wall without reading as overly bright. In direct daylight, Moroccan Sky can show a clearer sunbaked orange cast, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its earthy, russet side. Pair it with creamy off-whites, sandy beiges, deep olive greens, or charcoal accents for contrast. It also suits plaster-like finishes, natural oak, woven fibers, aged brass, and matte black hardware.

LRV of Moroccan Sky
Moroccan Sky has an LRV of 25.11% 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 25.11%, 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.
