What color is Behr Arrowhead?
Behr Arrowhead N320-6 is a muted medium-dark taupe with a noticeable brown-gray base and a softly earthy cast. Its low-saturation character keeps it from reading overly brown, while the warmth prevents it from feeling like a cold charcoal or slate gray. In bright daylight, Arrowhead can show more of its weathered khaki-taupe side; under warmer lamps, it tends to look deeper and more grounded. It suits a study, dining room, mudroom, or exterior trim where a substantial neutral is wanted without using black. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm wood tones, aged brass, linen upholstery, and dark bronze details for a layered, natural-looking palette.

What are Behr Arrowhead undertones?
Arrowhead is a midtone, very muted earthy, slightly muddy brown. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Arrowhead
Arrowhead has an LRV of 17.68% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 17.68%, 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.
