What color is Behr Cappuccino Froth?

Behr Cappuccino Froth N210-2 is a light, muted beige with a soft warm-gray cast that keeps it from reading overly creamy or yellow.

Use it in bedrooms, living rooms, or hallways where a quiet neutral backdrop is wanted without the starkness of white. Cappuccino Froth pairs well with off-white trim, medium oak, linen upholstery, and charcoal or deep brown accents.

LRV of Cappuccino Froth

Cappuccino Froth has an LRV of 58.09% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 58.09%, 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.
