What color is Behr Cake Crumbs?
Behr Cake Crumbs S260-1A is a light, warm beige with a gentle peachy-tan cast. Its soft, low-saturation appearance keeps it from reading as stark cream, giving walls a little more visible color while still feeling airy. In bright daylight, Cake Crumbs can look lightly sun-washed; under warmer bulbs, its beige and muted apricot notes become more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, hallways, and living areas where a pale neutral is wanted without a gray undertone. Pair it with ivory trim, natural oak, woven linen, and muted terracotta or clay accents for a grounded palette.

LRV of Cake Crumbs
Cake Crumbs has an LRV of 67.92% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 67.92%, 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.
