What color is Behr Chic Taupe?
Behr Chic Taupe N230-4 is a muted mid-tone taupe with a warm beige cast and a noticeable gray softness. Its low-saturation finish keeps it from reading overly brown, giving walls a grounded, lightly weathered look. In bright natural light, Chic Taupe can appear closer to a pale warm greige, while evening or shaded rooms bring out its deeper earthy character. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a neutral needs more presence than off-white. Pair it with creamy whites, charcoal accents, natural oak, linen upholstery, and brushed black or aged-brass hardware.

LRV of Chic Taupe
Chic Taupe has an LRV of 32.93% 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 32.93%, 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.
