What color is Behr Red Pepper?
Behr Red Pepper PPU2-02 is a deep, muted red with a noticeable earthy brown cast, giving it more restraint than a bright crimson. Its #7a3f38 value reads as warm and grounded, with enough grayness to keep the color from feeling overly sharp or sugary. In strong daylight, Red Pepper can show its dusty red character more clearly, while lower light draws out its darker, clay-like depth. It makes a compelling choice for a dining room wall, a study, or painted cabinetry where a concentrated color can hold its own. Pair it with warm ivory, soft beige, aged brass, natural oak, or charcoal accents for a room that feels considered rather than overly decorated.
LRV of Red Pepper
Red Pepper has an LRV of 8.28% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 8.28%, 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.
