What color is Behr Pink Damask?
Behr Pink Damask M160-5 is a medium, muted coral-pink with a clear warm cast and a slightly dusty finish. Its blend of rose and soft terracotta notes keeps it from reading like a sugary pastel, giving walls noticeable color without becoming overly bright. In direct daylight, Pink Damask can appear fresher and more pink, while evening or lower light draws out its earthy coral side. It suits a powder room, bedroom feature wall, or painted dining-area cabinetry, especially alongside creamy white trim, warm oak, rattan, and brushed brass. For contrast, pair this shade with deep olive, charcoal, or a blue-gray that has enough depth to stand up to its warmth.

LRV of Pink Damask
Pink Damask has an LRV of 34.13% 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 34.13%, 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.
