What color is Behr Roulette?
Behr Roulette P170-5 is a warm, mid-tone red with a softened coral cast that keeps it from reading overly sharp or primary. Its pinkish-red base feels lively on a feature wall, powder room, or painted front door, especially alongside creamy whites and light natural wood. In bright daylight, Roulette can show more of its sun-warmed coral character, while lower light brings out a deeper, dustier red presence. Pair it with warm beige, pale peach, charcoal, or aged brass for contrast that doesn’t make the color feel overly sweet. It has enough saturation for cabinetry or an accent wall, but it may feel strongest when used in smaller, well-lit areas.

LRV of Roulette
Roulette has an LRV of 23.69% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 23.69%, 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.
