What color is Behr Sonora Rose?
Behr Sonora Rose N160-4 is a muted, medium-light rosy beige with a soft clay cast. Its red undertone is softened by gray-brown notes, keeping it from reading as sugary pink. In bright daylight, Sonora Rose can appear more like a dusty blush, while lower or warmer light brings out its earthy tan side. It suits bedrooms, dining rooms, and powder rooms where a gentle color is wanted without losing visual weight. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, aged brass, natural oak, or matte black accents for a grounded finish.

LRV of Sonora Rose
Sonora Rose has an LRV of 34.6% 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 34.6%, 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.
