What color is Behr Cavalry Brown?
Behr Cavalry Brown N220-7 is a deep, muted brown with a noticeable gray cast that keeps its warmth restrained rather than reddish or golden. Its medium-dark value gives walls a grounded presence, while the softened, low-saturation finish prevents it from reading too heavy in a well-lit room. In daylight, Cavalry Brown can show more of its earthy taupe character; at night, it settles into a deeper charcoal-brown impression. It is especially effective on a dining room, study, exterior trim, or built-in cabinetry, where its depth can define architectural details. Pair it with warm off-whites, mushroom beige, black hardware, weathered oak, and natural linen for a layered, material-focused look.
LRV of Cavalry Brown
Cavalry Brown has an LRV of 10.19% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 10.19%, 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.
