What color is Behr Red Curry?

Behr Red Curry S170-6 is a muted, medium-dark clay red with a noticeable brown cast. Its softened red undertone keeps it warm without reading bright, giving walls a grounded, earthy presence. In strong daylight, the color can show more of its dusty red character, while evening light draws out its deeper brown notes. Use it in dining rooms, dens, or entryways where a richer wall color suits the architecture, or reserve it for cabinetry and an accent wall. Creamy off-whites, warm taupe, natural oak, aged brass, and matte black details provide clean, complementary contrast.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 14.59%, 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.
