What color is Behr Tiki Torch?
Behr Tiki Torch M180-6 is a medium, sunbaked orange with a clear clay-red base and a muted coral cast. Its depth gives it more presence than a pale peach, while the softened saturation keeps it from reading as overly bright. In direct daylight, Tiki Torch can look warmer and more orange; at night, it tends to settle into a deeper terracotta tone. It makes a strong choice for a dining room accent wall, a powder room, or painted cabinetry where a grounded hit of color is welcome. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm beige, natural oak, woven fibers, and matte black hardware for an earthy, collected look.

LRV of Tiki Torch
Tiki Torch has an LRV of 24.52% and refers to Medium 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 24.52%, 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.
