What color is Behr Old Flame?
Behr Old Flame P170-2 is a light, muted pink with a noticeable warm blush cast. Its #f2b7b5 color value keeps it soft and airy rather than bright or candy-like, making it well suited to full-wall use in bedrooms, nurseries, or a softly colored powder room. In daylight, the pale pink character reads clearly; lower, warmer lighting can bring out its peach-leaning warmth. Pair Old Flame with creamy whites, pale oak, linen upholstery, and brushed brass for a gentle layered look. For more contrast, use charcoal accents or deep olive-green textiles rather than another strong pink.
LRV of Old Flame
Old Flame has an LRV of 57.95% 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 57.95%, 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.
