What color is Behr Pink Mimosa?
Behr Pink Mimosa P180-3 is a light, warm pink with a clear peach-coral cast, reflected in its soft #f4b6a8 color value. It has enough color to read as more than a pale blush, yet it remains gentle enough for full walls in a bedroom, nursery, or powder room. Daylight brings out its fresh peach side, while warmer evening bulbs can make it appear slightly rosier and more muted. Pair it with creamy white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibers, or warm brass for a cohesive look. For contrast, try muted sage green, dusty blue-gray, or deep brown accents rather than stark black.

LRV of Pink Mimosa
Pink Mimosa has an LRV of 57.01% 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 57.01%, 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.
