What color is Behr Summer Crush?
Behr Summer Crush P140-1 is a pale, powdery pink with a soft blush cast and very gentle saturation. Its light value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the faint rosy undertone gives white-heavy rooms a little more warmth. In daylight, Summer Crush reads as a clean, delicate pink; under warmer bulbs, it can take on a slightly creamier blush appearance. Use it in bedrooms, nurseries, dressing areas, or a light-filled bathroom alongside warm white trim, pale oak, linen, and brushed brass. For contrast, pair this shade with muted sage, soft charcoal, or deeper berry-toned accents.

LRV of Summer Crush
Summer Crush has an LRV of 73.54% and refers to Off‑White 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 73.54%, 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.
