What color is Behr Peppermint Stick?
Behr Peppermint Stick M150-2 is a light, muted pink with a noticeable beige-gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet. Its #e8b9be value gives it a soft, powdery appearance, with warmth that becomes more apparent in afternoon sun and a slightly dustier look under cooler artificial light. Use it on bedroom or nursery walls when you want pink to feel quiet and grounded rather than bright. It also makes a considered accent for a powder-room vanity or built-in shelving. Pair Peppermint Stick with warm white trim, pale oak, natural linen, and charcoal or deep brown details for contrast.

LRV of Peppermint Stick
Peppermint Stick has an LRV of 57.44% 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 57.44%, 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.
