What color is Behr Pale Coral?
Behr Pale Coral PPU3-07 is a light, muted peach with a noticeable beige cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or pink. Its warm undertone comes through most clearly in daylight, while lower evening light can make the color appear softer and more sand-toned. Pale Coral is well suited to bedroom, nursery, dining room, or powder room walls where a gentle wash of warmth is wanted without a bright coral effect. Pair it with creamy white trim, light oak, woven natural fibers, and clay or terracotta accents for a layered palette. For contrast, charcoal, deep olive, or dusty blue details can give this shade more definition.

LRV of Pale Coral
Pale Coral has an LRV of 67.39% 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 67.39%, 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.
