What color is Behr Peach Glow?
Behr Peach Glow P240-2 is a light, warm peach with a creamy apricot cast and a softly sunlit appearance. Its pale value keeps the color airy on large walls, while the noticeable peach pigment prevents it from reading as plain beige or off-white. In direct daylight, Peach Glow can look brighter and more yellow-peach; under warm evening bulbs, it settles into a gentler, richer apricot tone. It suits bedrooms, nurseries, powder rooms, and breakfast areas where a warm wash of color feels more intentional than a neutral. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven linen, terracotta details, or muted sage accents for contrast without making the palette feel sharp.

LRV of Peach Glow
Peach Glow has an LRV of 75.18% and refers to Off‑White 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 75.18%, 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.
