What color is Behr Priceless Coral?
Behr Priceless Coral M180-4 is a light, muted coral with a warm peach-pink cast. Its softened saturation keeps it from feeling overly bright, making it well suited to bedroom walls, a powder room, or a sunlit dining nook. In clear daylight, the color shows its rosy coral character, while lower or warmer artificial light can bring forward its peachier side. Pair it with creamy off-whites, sandy beige, pale oak, and natural woven textures for a grounded look. For contrast, deep olive green, charcoal, or dusty blue accents give this shade more definition.

LRV of Priceless Coral
Priceless Coral has an LRV of 46.81% 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 46.81%, 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.
