What color is Behr Clockworks?

Behr Clockworks MQ2-09 is a muted medium-deep brown with a warm, earthy cast and a noticeable softened orange-brown undertone. Its low-key saturation keeps it from reading overly red or chocolatey, giving it a grounded look on walls in dens, dining rooms, or entryways. In bright daylight, the brown can appear a little lighter and more weathered; under warm lamps, it takes on a deeper, richer character. Pair Clockworks with creamy off-whites, sandy beige, aged brass, cognac leather, and natural oak for a layered palette. It also has enough depth for cabinetry or a single accent wall when paired with lighter surrounding surfaces.

LRV of Clockworks

Clockworks has an LRV of 10.91% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 10.91%, 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.
