What color is Behr Cake Spice?
Behr Cake Spice M250-4 is a warm, mid-tone golden tan with clear honey and muted orange undertones. Its earthy color value keeps it from reading overly bright, giving walls a grounded, sun-warmed look rather than a sharp yellow finish. In daylight, Cake Spice can appear softly golden; under warmer evening bulbs, its caramel-like depth becomes more noticeable. It suits dining rooms, kitchens, entryways, or living areas where wood flooring, rattan, aged brass, and natural linen are already part of the palette. Pair it with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, clay reds, or charcoal accents for contrast, or use it on cabinetry and a feature wall when a richer dose of warmth is wanted.

LRV of Cake Spice
Cake Spice has an LRV of 42.64% 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 42.64%, 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.
