What color is Behr Chestnut Bisque?
Behr Chestnut Bisque S200-4 is a muted mid-tone beige with a noticeable warm, rosy-brown cast. Its #c19c86 color value gives it more depth than a pale cream, while the softened saturation keeps it from reading overly orange or yellow. In daylight, this shade can appear like a gentle warm tan; under warm indoor bulbs, its pinkish beige undertone may become more apparent. Use Chestnut Bisque on living room, bedroom, or hallway walls where a grounded neutral is wanted without the grayness of many modern beiges. It pairs naturally with ivory trim, medium walnut wood, aged brass, clay accents, and deep brown or muted green textiles.

LRV of Chestnut Bisque
Chestnut Bisque has an LRV of 37.53% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 37.53%, 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.
