What color is Behr Watermelon Punch?
Behr Watermelon Punch PPU1-04A is a mid-tone coral pink with a clear warm cast, sitting between softened salmon and rosy terracotta. Its muted intensity keeps it from reading overly sugary, while the red-orange undertone gives the color noticeable presence on a wall or painted furniture. In bright daylight, Watermelon Punch appears fresher and more coral; at night, it can settle into a deeper, earthier pink. It makes a lively choice for a powder room, breakfast nook, or a single accent wall, and it can also bring character to cabinetry in a small space. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven fibers, or clay-toned neutrals for a grounded palette.

LRV of Watermelon Punch
Watermelon Punch has an LRV of 36.07% 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 36.07%, 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.
