What color is Behr Amber Brew?
Behr Amber Brew MQ4-10 is a warm, golden tan with a muted amber cast and a softly earthy base. Its medium-light depth keeps it present on the wall without reading as overly dark, especially in rooms with ample daylight. Sunlight brings out its honeyed yellow-orange notes, while evening lighting can make it appear a little richer and more caramel-toned. It suits dining rooms, entryways, and kitchens, where it can pair well with creamy off-whites, deep olive accents, warm wood cabinetry, and aged brass hardware. Use it across full walls for a grounded backdrop or on cabinetry and built-ins for a warmer focal point.

LRV of Amber Brew
Amber Brew has an LRV of 40.84% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 40.84%, 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.
