What color is Behr Smokey Pink?
Behr Smokey Pink N150-2 is a light, muted blush with a noticeable beige cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or pastel. Its soft, low-saturation appearance can look lightly rosy in warm daylight, while cooler lighting may bring out its gentle gray-taupe side. Use it on bedroom, nursery, or powder room walls where a pale color with warmth is wanted without strong pink intensity. It also suits painted furniture or a subtle accent wall paired with creamy whites, warm gray, natural oak, linen, and brushed brass.

What are Behr Smokey Pink undertones?
Smokey Pink is a mid-light, very muted muted beige. The HEX sample has a subtle orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Smokey Pink
Smokey Pink has an LRV of 53.33% 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 53.33%, 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.
