What color is Behr Sunset Drive?
Behr Sunset Drive M200-3 is a light peach-beige with a clear warm cast and a softly muted finish. Its #eabba2 color value suggests a creamy apricot undertone rather than a sharp pink or orange, giving walls a gentle wash of warmth. In bright daylight, Sunset Drive can read lighter and more sun-kissed, while evening lighting may bring out its beige side. It suits bedrooms, dining rooms, and powder rooms where a pale warm color can replace standard beige without feeling overly colorful. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven textures, and clay-toned accents, or add contrast with dusty blue-gray textiles.

LRV of Sunset Drive
Sunset Drive has an LRV of 56.54% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 56.54%, 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.
