What color is Behr Bonsai Pot?
Behr Bonsai Pot N340-3 is a light, muted khaki-beige with a soft gray cast that keeps its warmth restrained. Its low saturation gives it a gently weathered, natural look rather than a distinctly yellow or creamy one. In bright daylight, Bonsai Pot can read as a pale putty neutral, while lower or north-facing light may bring out its quieter olive-gray side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a grounded neutral is wanted without the starkness of white or cool gray. Pair it with warm white trim, oatmeal linen, aged brass, medium oak, and deeper olive or charcoal accents.

LRV of Bonsai Pot
Bonsai Pot has an LRV of 43.75% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 43.75%, 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.
