What color is Behr Orioles?
Behr Orioles P190-5 is a clear, medium-light coral with a noticeable peach-orange cast. Its warm, sunny character keeps it from reading pink, while the softened value makes it gentler than a sharp tangerine. In bright daylight, Orioles can look fresh and lively; under warmer evening lighting, it tends to lean more peachy and muted. It brings welcome color to a powder room, breakfast nook, or a single accent wall, and can also give painted furniture a cheerful update. Pair it with creamy white trim, pale sand tones, warm natural wood, or muted blue-green accents for contrast.

LRV of Orioles
Orioles has an LRV of 36.64% 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 36.64%, 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.
