What color is Behr Burnt Toffee?
Behr Burnt Toffee S230-6 is a medium-depth, muted brown with clear warm orange and earthy terracotta undertones. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading overly red, giving walls a grounded, sunbaked look rather than a sharp rust effect. In bright daylight, Burnt Toffee can show more of its warm clay character, while evening light brings out its deeper brown side. It suits dining rooms, dens, entryways, or a single accent wall, and can also give wood cabinetry a richly painted finish. Pair this shade with creamy off-whites, dusty blue-grays, charcoal details, aged brass, leather, and natural oak.

LRV of Burnt Toffee
Burnt Toffee has an LRV of 24.73% 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 24.73%, 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.
