What color is Behr Cinnabark?
Behr Cinnabark PPU3-20 is a deep, muted brown with a noticeable gray cast and a gentle warm, reddish-brown undertone. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly rustic or orange, giving the color a grounded, softened appearance on the wall. In bright daylight, the brown warmth becomes easier to see, while evening light can make Cinnabark appear closer to a dark charcoal-brown. It suits a dining room, study, or powder room, and can also add weight to lower cabinetry or an exterior front door. Pair it with creamy off-whites, dusty clay tones, aged brass, black metal, and medium-to-dark natural wood.
LRV of Cinnabark
Cinnabark has an LRV of 8.83% 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 8.83%, 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.
