What color is Behr Toucan?
Behr Toucan P230-6 is a clear, mid-light orange with a warm apricot cast and enough saturation to read as a deliberate color choice. It brings sunny energy to a kitchen nook, mudroom, playroom, or front door without becoming as heavy as a deep rust. On walls, Toucan is especially effective when paired with soft cream trim, pale sand tones, or warm white ceilings. Natural wood, woven cane, terracotta, and matte black hardware give it a grounded, lived-in look. Brighter light emphasizes its fresh orange character, while lower light can make the shade appear a little deeper and more amber.

LRV of Toucan
Toucan has an LRV of 39.75% 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 39.75%, 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.
