What color is Behr Pink Ginger?
Behr Pink Ginger PPU2-08 is a muted, mid-tone pink with a noticeable beige cast that keeps it grounded rather than sugary. Its soft terracotta-peach undertone gives the color gentle warmth, especially in afternoon or incandescent light, while cooler daylight can bring out its dusty, clay-like side. It suits bedroom walls, a powder room, or a dining nook where a full wash of color feels more interesting than plain neutral paint. Pair Pink Ginger with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, natural oak, aged brass, and linen textiles for an earthy, layered look. On cabinetry or a single accent wall, this shade can add color without becoming overly bright.

LRV of Pink Ginger
Pink Ginger has an LRV of 44.17% 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 44.17%, 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.
