What color is Behr Cider Spice?
Behr Cider Spice S210-5 is a muted medium terracotta-brown with a clear warm, clay-like cast. Its softened orange and rosy brown undertones keep it from reading too dark or overly red, giving walls a grounded, lived-in look. In bright daylight, Cider Spice can appear lighter and more earthen, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its deeper cinnamon-brown side. It suits dining rooms, entryways, and dens where a richer wall color feels appropriate without becoming heavy. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, aged brass, natural oak, and textured linen for a layered palette.

LRV of Cider Spice
Cider Spice has an LRV of 26.2% 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 26.2%, 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.
