What color is Behr Wine Pairing?

Behr Wine Pairing S120-1 is a very light, muted pink with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet. Its soft rosy undertone is more apparent in warm afternoon light, while cooler daylight can make it look closer to a pale pink-beige or misty blush. Use this shade on bedroom, dressing-room, or powder-room walls where a low-contrast wash of color feels more fitting than a crisp white. Wine Pairing pairs nicely with warm white trim, light oak, brushed brass, and textured linen, while charcoal or deep plum accents add definition without overpowering its delicate depth.

What are Behr Wine Pairing undertones?

Wine Pairing is a light, very muted blushed off-white. The HEX sample has a subtle pink-red bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear pink-red. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 74.16%, 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.
