What color is Behr Apple Wine?
Behr Apple Wine HDC-CL-19 is a muted golden tan with an earthy, yellow-olive cast. Its medium depth keeps it from reading like a pale cream, while the softened saturation gives it a weathered, natural look rather than a bright mustard finish. In direct daylight, this color can show more of its warm ochre character; under warmer bulbs, it settles into a deeper khaki-gold. Use Apple Wine on a dining room wall, built-in shelving, or a front door when you want a grounded color with noticeable warmth. It pairs especially well with warm white trim, dark walnut, aged brass, terracotta, and charcoal accents.

LRV of Apple Wine
Apple Wine has an LRV of 34.64% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 34.64%, 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.
