What color is Behr Sunset Pink?
Behr Sunset Pink M160-4A is a muted mid-tone pink with a clear warm, peach-leaning cast. Its #e39b96 color value gives it enough softness for broad wall coverage while still reading as a definite color rather than a near-neutral. In daylight, Sunset Pink can appear airy and lightly sun-warmed; under warmer bulbs, its coral notes become more noticeable. Try it in a bedroom, powder room, nursery, or breakfast nook with creamy whites, pale oak, woven natural fibers, and brushed brass. For contrast, pair this shade with dusty blue-gray, deep olive, or charcoal accents rather than bright primary colors.

LRV of Sunset Pink
Sunset Pink has an LRV of 43.47% 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 43.47%, 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.
