What color is Behr Basketry?
Behr Basketry PPU4-05 is a muted mid-tone tan with a noticeable warm, earthy cast. Its blend of softened beige and brown gives walls enough color to feel grounded without reading overly dark. In bright daylight, Basketry can look lighter and more sand-toned, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its deeper caramel-brown side. Use it in living rooms, dining areas, or entryways with creamy trim, aged brass, natural oak, woven textiles, and stone finishes. It also makes a practical choice for cabinetry or an accent wall when paired with off-white, charcoal, or dusty blue-gray details.

LRV of Basketry
Basketry has an LRV of 38.7% 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 38.7%, 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.
