What color is Behr Coconut Shell?
Behr Coconut Shell PPU5-05 is a muted medium brown with a noticeable gray cast and a soft, earthy warmth. Its #8e7967 color value keeps it grounded rather than overly dark, making it a practical option for living room walls, bedrooms, or a den that needs more depth than beige. In bright daylight, the gray-brown character reads clearly, while warmer evening lighting can bring forward its subtle taupe warmth. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, aged brass, and natural oak for a layered, material-focused look. Coconut Shell also has enough visual weight for cabinetry or an exterior trim detail when balanced with lighter surrounding colors.

LRV of Coconut Shell
Coconut Shell has an LRV of 20.76% 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 20.76%, 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.
