What color is Behr Champagne Wishes?
Behr Champagne Wishes M280-3 is a light, warm beige with a noticeable peach-gold cast, reflected in its soft #efd4ae color value. It reads brighter and creamier in direct daylight, while evening light can bring out its muted apricot undertone. The shade has enough color to keep large walls from looking flat, yet remains pale enough for bedrooms, dining rooms, and sunlit living areas. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven linen, or brushed brass for a cohesive look. Deep olive, clay brown, and dusty blue accents provide useful contrast without making this color feel overly yellow.

LRV of Champagne Wishes
Champagne Wishes has an LRV of 68.36% 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 68.36%, 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.
