What color is Behr Taffy Twist?
Behr Taffy Twist M160-2 is a light, softened pink with a clear warm peach-coral undertone. Its high lightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the muted color prevents it from reading like a sugary pastel. In cool daylight, Taffy Twist can appear like a clean pale blush; warmer lamps bring forward its peachier side. It suits bedrooms, nurseries, powder rooms, or a softly colored ceiling, and can also make a restrained accent wall. Pair it with creamy white trim, pale oak, natural linen, terracotta details, or deep brown accents for contrast.

LRV of Taffy Twist
Taffy Twist has an LRV of 63.09% 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 63.09%, 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.
