What color is Behr Race Car Stripe?
Behr Race Car Stripe P170-6 is a warm, mid-depth red with a clear coral cast that keeps it from reading like a traditional brick or burgundy. Its #cf4944 color value gives it noticeable saturation, so it makes the strongest impact on an accent wall, painted front door, or a run of cabinetry rather than across every wall in a small room. In bright daylight, Race Car Stripe can appear fresher and more red-orange, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its deeper, earthier side. Pair it with soft cream, warm white, charcoal, or natural oak to give the color structure without competing with it. Matte black hardware, tan leather, and woven natural fibers are especially effective alongside this shade.

LRV of Race Car Stripe
Race Car Stripe has an LRV of 16.51% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 16.51%, 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.
