What color is Behr Casual Khaki?
Behr Casual Khaki N300-3 is a light, muted beige with a noticeable warm cast that keeps it from reading flat or gray. Its soft tan base has a subtle yellow-beige influence, giving walls a sun-warmed look in brighter daylight while appearing slightly deeper in lower light. Casual Khaki suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and open-plan spaces where a gentle neutral is needed without the starkness of off-white. Pair it with creamy trim, natural oak, woven fibers, and linen upholstery to emphasize its earthy character. For contrast, charcoal, deep olive, or warm black accents give this shade more definition.

LRV of Casual Khaki
Casual Khaki has an LRV of 56.84% 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 56.84%, 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.
