What color is Behr Premium Pink?
Behr Premium Pink M140-3 is a light, muted pink with a softly rosy cast and enough grayness to keep it from reading sugary. In bright daylight, it appears airy and pale, while evening light brings out its slightly dustier, more subdued side. Premium Pink suits bedroom walls, a nursery, or a powder room where a gentle wash of color feels more considered than plain white. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, walnut furniture, and brushed brass for a grounded look. It can also make a charming accent on built-ins or a painted vanity alongside creamy stone or warm gray tile.

LRV of Premium Pink
Premium Pink has an LRV of 55.94% 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 55.94%, 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.
