What color is Behr Sweetheart?
Behr Sweetheart P140-2 is a light blush pink with a muted, powdery cast rather than a bright candy-pink look. Its rosy base is softened by a slight coolness, which keeps the color gentle and low in saturation. In daylight, Sweetheart reads as a clean pale pink; under warmer lamps, its peachy side becomes a little more noticeable. It is well suited to bedroom walls, a nursery ceiling, or a small powder room where a pale color can add definition without making the space feel dark. Pair it with soft white trim, pale oak, warm brass, and muted gray-green or dusty blue accents.

LRV of Sweetheart
Sweetheart has an LRV of 65.84% 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 65.84%, 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.
