What color is Behr Copper Moon?
Behr Copper Moon HDC-AC-02 is a muted mid-tone tan with a noticeable warm, clay-like cast. Its blend of beige, soft brown, and subdued orange undertones gives it more presence than a standard neutral without reading overly rusty. In bright daylight, Copper Moon can appear lighter and sandier, while evening or north-facing light draws out its deeper cinnamon-brown side. It suits living rooms, dining spaces, and entryways where a warmer wall color can ground pale wood or cream upholstery. Pair it with ivory trim, aged brass, cognac leather, charcoal accents, and natural oak for a layered, earthy palette.

LRV of Copper Moon
Copper Moon has an LRV of 36.03% 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 36.03%, 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.
