What color is Behr Tropical Fruit?
Behr Tropical Fruit P220-3 is a light, sun-warmed peach with creamy yellow undertones and a soft, low-contrast presence. Its pale value keeps the color airy on broad walls, while the peach note gives it more character than a standard beige or off-white. In bright daylight, Tropical Fruit can read as a gentle apricot cream; under warmer bulbs, its golden-peach cast becomes more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, breakfast nooks, and powder rooms, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, rattan, and brushed brass. For contrast, pair this shade with muted sage, dusty blue, or deep terracotta accents.

LRV of Tropical Fruit
Tropical Fruit has an LRV of 70.38% 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 70.38%, 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.
