What color is Behr Tropical Hibiscus?
Behr Tropical Hibiscus M130-6 is a muted, medium-deep rose with a noticeable mauve-plum cast. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading overly pink, giving walls a grounded berry tone that feels especially at home in a bedroom, powder room, or dining nook. In bright daylight, this color can show more of its dusty rose side, while lower or warmer lighting brings forward its deeper wine-like undertones. Pair Tropical Hibiscus with warm ivory trim, taupe upholstery, aged brass, and medium wood for a layered, lived-in look. It also makes a strong choice for a painted vanity or accent wall when the surrounding finishes are kept light and natural.

LRV of Tropical Hibiscus
Tropical Hibiscus has an LRV of 17.59% 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 17.59%, 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.
