What color is Behr Coliseum Marble?
Behr Coliseum Marble PPU8-16 is a light, muted beige with a noticeable soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly creamy. Its warm yellow-beige undertone gives the #cec8b6 color value a gentle, weathered-stone appearance, while the low saturation makes it feel understated on broad walls. In brighter daylight, Coliseum Marble can look lighter and more softly beige; under cooler or dimmer lighting, its gray influence becomes more apparent. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and open-plan spaces where a pale neutral is needed without the starkness of white. Pair it with warm white trim, aged brass, natural oak, linen textiles, or deeper charcoal and olive accents for definition.
LRV of Coliseum Marble
Coliseum Marble has an LRV of 57.52% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 57.52%, 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.
