What color is Behr Morocco Red?
Behr Morocco Red PPU2-17 is a deep, muted red with a clear earthy brown cast, giving it the look of weathered brick rather than a bright primary red. Its warmth is noticeable, but the softened saturation keeps it grounded and usable on a full dining room, den, or entry wall. In direct daylight, Morocco Red can read as a dry terracotta-red, while lower evening light brings out its darker, more wine-toned depth. Pair it with warm white trim, charcoal, camel leather, aged brass, and natural oak for a collected interior. It also has enough weight for a front door, built-in cabinetry, or a fireplace surround.
LRV of Morocco Red
Morocco Red has an LRV of 10.9% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 10.9%, 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.
