What color is Behr Wild Geranium?
Behr Wild Geranium M130-3 is a light, muted pink with a noticeable mauve cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet. Its soft grayish undertone gives the color a powdery, gently weathered look, especially in rooms with indirect daylight. In brighter light, Wild Geranium can appear clearer and rosier, while warm evening bulbs tend to pull out its beige-pink side. It suits bedroom walls, a small powder room, or painted furniture where a pale color can still provide visible contrast. Pair it with creamy white trim, warm oak, aged brass, charcoal accents, or muted sage textiles for a grounded palette.

LRV of Wild Geranium
Wild Geranium has an LRV of 57.35% 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 57.35%, 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.
