What color is Behr Chocolate Delight?
Behr Chocolate Delight N160-5 is a muted medium brown with soft rosy-beige and gray undertones that keep it from reading too orange or heavy. It has enough depth for a cozy dining room, den, or bedroom wall, while its subdued saturation gives it a gently weathered look. In bright daylight, Chocolate Delight can appear like a warm taupe; under warmer evening bulbs, its brown and dusky rose notes become more noticeable. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, natural oak, aged brass, and linen textiles for a grounded, layered interior. It also makes a considered choice for cabinetry or a single accent wall where a pale neutral would feel too plain.

LRV of Chocolate Delight
Chocolate Delight has an LRV of 21.66% 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 21.66%, 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.
