What color is Behr Pinky Promise?
Behr Pinky Promise P170-1A is a very light blush pink with a soft peachy cast that keeps it on the warm side. Its high lightness makes it read more like a tinted neutral than a strong pink, especially across a full wall. In daylight, the color appears airy and powdery; warmer evening bulbs can bring out its peach notes more clearly. Use it in bedrooms, nurseries, powder rooms, or on a ceiling where a barely-there wash of color is wanted. Pinky Promise pairs well with creamy white trim, pale oak, light maple, woven natural fibers, and muted sage or dusty green accents.

LRV of Pinky Promise
Pinky Promise has an LRV of 71.1% 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 71.1%, 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.
