What color is Behr Pinkadelic?
Behr Pinkadelic P160-5 is a medium-depth muted coral-red with a clear warmth and a lightly softened, dusty cast. Its red base carries enough pink to feel lively on a wall, while the earthy quality keeps it from reading as overly bright or sugary. In direct daylight, Pinkadelic can show its rosier side; under warm lamps, it tends to lean closer to terracotta-red. Try it in a dining room, powder room, or on a painted accent wall with creamy off-whites, warm oak, walnut, and natural linen. For a more graphic look, pair this color with charcoal, deep brown, or blackened metal details.

LRV of Pinkadelic
Pinkadelic has an LRV of 20.71% 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 20.71%, 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.
