What color is Behr Siren?
Behr Siren P190-4 is a light, warm peach with a noticeable pink-coral cast. Its soft, sunlit appearance gives walls more color than a pale neutral without becoming overly bright or sugary. In south-facing rooms, Siren can read like a clean apricot-peach, while cooler daylight may bring out its rosier side. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, breakfast nooks, and painted furniture where a gentle wash of warmth is wanted. Pair it with creamy whites, light oak, natural rattan, terracotta pottery, or muted olive accents for an earthy contrast.

LRV of Siren
Siren has an LRV of 48.15% 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 48.15%, 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.
