What color is Behr Peach Mimosa?
Behr Peach Mimosa HDC-MD-18 is a light, warm peach with a clear coral-pink cast, based on its soft #f4a28c color value. It has enough saturation to read as a noticeable wall color rather than a near-neutral, yet its pale value keeps it from feeling heavy. In bright daylight, Peach Mimosa can appear fresher and more pink-coral, while warmer indoor lighting may bring out its apricot side. Use it on bedroom, powder room, or breakfast-area walls with creamy white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibers, and brushed brass details. For contrast, pair this shade with muted sage, dusty blue, or deep charcoal accents.

LRV of Peach Mimosa
Peach Mimosa has an LRV of 47.96% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 47.96%, 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.
