What color is Behr Ole Pink?
Behr Ole Pink S170-1 is a pale, muted pink with a noticeable beige cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or bubblegum-like. Its #ebd5cc value gives it a softly warm appearance, with gentle peachy-beige undertones that can become more apparent in afternoon sun. On walls, Ole Pink creates a light wash of color for bedrooms, powder rooms, nurseries, or a breakfast nook without making the room feel heavily pink. Pair it with creamy white trim, light oak, natural linen, and warm brass for a cohesive finish. For contrast, charcoal accents, deep olive greenery, or matte black hardware give this shade more definition.

What are Behr Ole Pink undertones?
Ole Pink is a light, very muted pale rose-beige. The HEX sample has a subtle red bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear red. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Ole Pink
Ole Pink has an LRV of 70.39% 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 70.39%, 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.
