Behr

Embroidery

PPU17-09

Embroidery is a pale dusty pink with a beige-gray base. It feels soft and textile-like, which makes it useful in bedrooms, closets, or a compact bath with warm metals. The pink is muted.

Set it beside taupe, trim in cream, or brushed brass. Cooler daylight can push it more lavender. Warm lamps bring back the blush. Test it near fixed whites, since some trim can make the color appear sweeter.

Embroidery in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
