What color is Behr Chipotle Paste?
Behr Chipotle Paste PPU2-01 is a deep, muted red-brown with a noticeable earthy cast. Its low brightness gives it substantial visual weight, while the softened red undertone keeps it from reading as a plain brown. In daylight, Chipotle Paste can show more of its dusty brick-red character; under warm evening lighting, it settles into a darker, richer brown-red. It makes a strong choice for a dining room, library, powder room, or an accent wall behind light wood furniture. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, aged brass, cognac leather, and natural oak for a grounded, layered interior.

LRV of Chipotle Paste
Chipotle Paste has an LRV of 7.26% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 7.26%, 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.
