What color is Behr Stiletto Love?
Behr Stiletto Love P160-7 is a deep, earthy red with a clear warm cast and a muted brick-like character. Its brownish-red base keeps the color grounded rather than overly bright, making it especially effective for a dining room, entry, or a dramatic powder room. In direct daylight, its red presence becomes more noticeable, while lower or warmer lighting can draw out its darker, clay-toned side. Use Stiletto Love on an accent wall, painted cabinetry, or a front door alongside creamy off-whites, warm taupe, charcoal, and natural wood. Matte black hardware, aged brass, leather, and linen add texture without competing with this saturated shade.

LRV of Stiletto Love
Stiletto Love has an LRV of 13.44% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 13.44%, 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.
