What color is Behr Peach Shortcake?
Behr Peach Shortcake M210-4 is a light, warm peach with a soft blush-pink cast and a gently muted finish. Its pale value keeps it airy on larger walls, while the orange warmth prevents it from reading like a standard beige or off-white. In bright daylight, Peach Shortcake can look cleaner and more pastel; lower or warmer light tends to bring out its rosy, baked-peach character. It suits bedrooms, nurseries, powder rooms, and breakfast nooks, especially alongside creamy white trim, natural oak, rattan, or light linen upholstery. For contrast, pair this shade with dusty green, terracotta, or deep brown accents rather than sharp cool grays.

LRV of Peach Shortcake
Peach Shortcake has an LRV of 52.51% 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 52.51%, 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.
