Behr

Whip Lash

P150-6

Whip Lash is a saturated red with a cool raspberry edge and some earthy depth. It hits hard. A front door or accent cabinet makes more sense than defaulting to every wall.

The color sits deep enough to feel bold, not pastel. Warm white paint and black hardware sharpen it. Gloss can look striking here, but wall scuffs will show more under stronger sheen.

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.
