What color is Behr Classic Gold?
Behr Classic Gold PPU6-17 is a muted golden tan with a clearly warm, earthy cast. Its medium depth keeps it from reading like a bright yellow, giving it the look of sun-baked straw or lightly burnished wood instead. In direct daylight, the gold notes come forward, while lower or warmer interior light can make it appear more brown-beige. Use this shade on a dining room wall, a powder room, or a painted accent piece where its color can add definition without becoming overly loud. It pairs especially well with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, charcoal, black hardware, and natural materials such as oak, leather, and woven fibers.

LRV of Classic Gold
Classic Gold has an LRV of 39.03% 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 39.03%, 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.
