What color is Behr Butter Nut?
Behr Butter Nut HDC-AC-13 is a muted, medium-light tan with a clear golden-brown cast. Its warm undertone reads softly earthy rather than bright yellow, giving walls a grounded look in living rooms, dining areas, or hallways. In direct daylight, Butter Nut can appear lighter and more honeyed, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its deeper caramel-beige side. Pair it with creamy off-whites, dusty olive greens, warm charcoal, or natural wood for a layered palette. It is especially well suited to broad wall areas and can also add warmth to cabinetry when balanced with pale stone or light countertops.

LRV of Butter Nut
Butter Nut has an LRV of 40.95% 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 40.95%, 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.
