A match of Behr 1648 Paprika is a muted, medium-deep reddish brown with warm orange-brown undertones. It reads earthy rather than bright, with enough depth to feel substantial and enough red in the mix to keep it from becoming a plain brown.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this Behr color can be used on metal brackets, railings, mailbox parts, exterior vents, downspout straps, switch covers, speaker grilles, shelf supports, furniture legs, and other small parts where a controlled spray finish makes sense. It is also a practical choice for PVC trim pieces, hardware, and accessories that need to share the same color reference as larger painted surfaces.

Because the color is fairly deep, sheen and surface preparation can affect how even it looks. Glossy finishes can make texture and repair marks more noticeable, while patchy or contrasting substrates may need good priming and full coverage to keep the color reading consistently. The low LRV means it will read noticeably darker than a light neutral, so film build and finish choice can shift the apparent depth.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Behr™ 1648 Paprika *

Where can I find the SDS for Behr 1648 Paprika if I am ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product and its chemistry, not to the Behr 1648 Paprika color name by itself. If you need the SDS for the specific MyPerfectColor product you are ordering, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for this product: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm

If you are comparing products, use the SDS for the exact format you plan to buy, since spray paint and other product types can have different safety information.

How can lighting affect how Behr 1648 Paprika looks after a MyPerfectColor match is applied?

Even when the color match is correct, Behr 1648 Paprika can read differently after application because of lighting, placement, sheen, and nearby surfaces. A color that looks balanced in one location may appear lighter, darker, warmer, or more muted in another setting.

For that reason, judge the finished MyPerfectColor match on the actual item and in the lighting where it will be used, not only from a screen or a separate sample photo.

How much MyPerfectColor paint should I order for Behr 1648 Paprika?

Coverage for Behr 1648 Paprika depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats are needed. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paint formats typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet, but actual coverage can vary by project.

If the surface is rough, porous, dark, uneven, or difficult to coat evenly, plan for more material and more than one coat. For small parts, it is usually better to estimate conservatively so you do not run short before the project is complete.

How do I confirm I have the right Behr 1648 Paprika color reference before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm Behr 1648 Paprika from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference before placing the order. Screen images can shift the appearance of the color, and MyPerfectColor matches to the selected brand color reference, not to a screen view alone.

If the part you are matching is already painted, verify whether you are matching the original Behr 1648 Paprika reference or an aged existing surface. The order should be based on the color target you want MyPerfectColor to reproduce.

Can Behr 1648 Paprika be matched in spray paint for plastic or other difficult surfaces?

Yes, Behr 1648 Paprika can be ordered as a MyPerfectColor match for spray application on many projects, including plastic parts. Plastics vary widely, so testing on the actual material is important before coating the full item.

MyPerfectColor spray paint adheres well to most plastics, but using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on challenging surfaces. This is especially useful when the substrate has low surface energy, a smooth finish, or other conditions that make paint bonding less predictable.

How do I convert Behr 1648 Paprika to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Behr 1648 Paprika in paint, we don't provide any crossover information. We've found that every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another brand.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the brand you want.

Keep in mind that this just shows similar colors based on the color values we have stored in our database. It doesn't mean it is the same or give any approximation about how close the color is. You can play around with the Hue, Lightness and Chroma sliders to expand the selection.
