What color is Behr Armadillo?

Behr Armadillo N230-3 is a light, muted beige with a noticeable gray cast and a soft pinkish-taupe undertone. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly creamy or yellow, giving walls a quiet, lightly weathered appearance. In bright daylight, Armadillo can look like a pale greige, while warmer evening light brings out more of its beige and rosy undertones. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways where a gentle neutral is preferred over a crisp white. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, charcoal accents, or brushed brass hardware for contrast.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 50.22%, 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.
