What color is Behr Art District?
Behr Art District MQ2-57 is a muted mid-tone taupe that sits between weathered beige and soft gray-brown. Its low saturation keeps it grounded and adaptable, while the warmer brown cast prevents it from reading cold or stark. In bright daylight, Art District can appear lighter and more neutral; under warm bulbs, its beige and earthy undertones become more noticeable. It suits living room walls, bedrooms, and hallways where a quieter neutral is wanted, and it also has enough depth for cabinetry or a painted interior door. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, aged brass, natural oak, linen, and matte black details.

LRV of Art District
Art District has an LRV of 25.93% 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 25.93%, 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.
