What color is Behr Cinnamon Tea?

Behr Cinnamon Tea S200-2 is a light, warm beige with a noticeable peachy-pink cast that keeps it from reading flat or gray. Its soft, muted depth suits bedrooms, dining rooms, and living areas where a pale neutral is wanted without a stark white effect. In bright daylight, Cinnamon Tea can look airy and lightly blush-toned; under warmer lamps, its creamy tan side becomes more apparent. Pair it with chalky white trim, natural oak, woven linen, and soft clay or terracotta accents for a grounded palette. It is especially well suited to full walls, though it can also give cabinetry a gentle, low-contrast warmth.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
