What color is Behr Top Tomato?
Behr Top Tomato P180-7 is a deep, saturated red with a clear warm orange cast, close to the color of sun-ripened tomato skin. Its bold depth holds up well in bright daylight, while evening light can make it read slightly richer and more earthy. Use Top Tomato on a front door, dining-room accent wall, or painted kitchen island when the room needs a strong focal point. Creamy whites, warm beige, charcoal, and natural oak keep the color grounded, while black metal hardware adds crisp contrast. In a large room, this shade is often best reserved for cabinetry, trim, or one defined wall rather than every surface.

LRV of Top Tomato
Top Tomato has an LRV of 16% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 16%, 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.
