What color is Behr Almond Biscuit?
Behr Almond Biscuit S250-2 is a light, warm beige with a noticeable peachy-apricot cast. Its soft depth keeps it from reading stark or chalky, making it especially useful for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways that need gentle warmth. In bright daylight, Almond Biscuit can show more of its creamy peach undertone, while lower light may make it appear more muted and beige. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven linens, and clay or terracotta accents for a layered look. Deep olive, muted sage, and medium brown woods provide grounded contrast without competing with this shade.

LRV of Almond Biscuit
Almond Biscuit has an LRV of 62.24% 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 62.24%, 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.
