What color is Behr Before Winter?

Behr Before Winter M190-6 is a medium-depth terracotta with a clear rosy-orange cast, shown here as #bd6f56. It brings noticeable warmth without becoming overly bright, making it especially effective where a room needs color with some weight. In strong daylight, its orange-red character is more apparent; lower or warmer light can draw out its muted clay quality. Use it on a dining room wall, a painted fireplace surround, or cabinetry that needs a grounded focal point. Creamy off-whites, warm beige, aged brass, oak, and natural linen keep the palette cohesive, while deep olive or charcoal can provide sharper 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 23.05%, 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.
