What color is Behr Sweet Roses?
Behr Sweet Roses PR-W05 is a pale, muted blush with a soft beige-gray cast that keeps it from reading overly pink. Its light value gives walls an airy, almost off-white appearance, while the subtle rosy warmth becomes more noticeable in evening light. Use it in bedrooms, dressing areas, nurseries, or a powder room where a gentle hint of color is wanted without a strong pastel effect. Sweet Roses pairs well with warm white trim, natural oak, light maple, linen upholstery, and brushed brass or aged bronze hardware. For contrast, bring in deeper mushroom taupe, dusty mauve, or charcoal accents.

LRV of Sweet Roses
Sweet Roses has an LRV of 76.9% 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 76.9%, 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.
