What color is Behr Pimento?
Behr Pimento P180-6 is a lively medium coral-red with a clear warm cast, shown here as #dc5d47. Its orange influence keeps it bright and energized rather than wine-like or brick-heavy, making it especially effective where a strong burst of color is wanted. Use it on a dining room accent wall, a painted front door, or lower kitchen cabinetry paired with creamy white walls and light wood. In direct daylight, Pimento can read fresher and more coral; under warm indoor bulbs, it tends to appear deeper and more red-orange. Matte black hardware, natural oak, woven cane, and muted sand tones give this shade room to stand out without making the palette feel overly busy.

LRV of Pimento
Pimento has an LRV of 21.93% and refers to Medium 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 21.93%, 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.
