What color is Behr Auburn Glaze?
Behr Auburn Glaze S180-5 is a muted, medium-depth clay brown with a noticeable rosy cast. Its warm red and soft peach undertones keep it from reading too heavy, while the grayed quality gives it a softened, lived-in appearance rather than a bright terracotta look. In direct sun, this shade can appear warmer and slightly more peachy; under lower or cooler light, its brown and dusty pink notes become more apparent. Auburn Glaze suits dining rooms, powder rooms, and accent walls where a grounded color is wanted without going very dark. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, aged brass, natural oak, or matte black details for contrast.

LRV of Auburn Glaze
Auburn Glaze has an LRV of 27.78% 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 27.78%, 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.
