What color is Behr Cork?
Behr Cork PPU6-05 is a light, warm tan with a clear golden-beige cast. Its #d9ad7a value gives it a sun-warmed, softly earthy appearance that sits between sandy beige and muted caramel. In bright daylight, Cork can read lighter and more honeyed, while lower or warmer artificial light may bring out its deeper toasted notes. It suits living rooms, dining areas, and hallways where a warm neutral can add color without becoming too dark. Pair it with creamy off-whites, medium brown wood, woven natural fibers, and muted olive or clay accents.

LRV of Cork
Cork has an LRV of 45.88% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 45.88%, 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.
