What color is Behr Orange Liqueur?
Behr Orange Liqueur M210-6 is a medium, earthy orange with a softened brown cast that keeps it from reading too bright or citrusy. Its warm clay-like appearance can bring depth to a dining room, kitchen, or sunlit entry without overwhelming the surrounding finishes. In strong daylight, Orange Liqueur shows its orange character more clearly, while lower light draws out its deeper, muted quality. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm beige, natural oak, woven textiles, and aged brass for a grounded palette. It is especially effective as an accent wall, on cabinetry, or in a small room where a fuller wall color feels intentional.

LRV of Orange Liqueur
Orange Liqueur has an LRV of 27.65% 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 27.65%, 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.
