What color is Behr Deserted Island?
Behr Deserted Island PPU8-24 is a muted olive-taupe with a noticeable gray cast and an earthy, mid-depth appearance. Its softened green-brown undertone keeps it from reading like a standard beige, giving walls more definition without becoming overly dark. In bright daylight, Deserted Island can appear more khaki and weathered; under warm artificial light, its brown and olive notes tend to come forward. It suits studies, dining rooms, mudrooms, and exterior siding, especially alongside creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, aged brass, walnut, and natural stone. Use this color on full walls or cabinetry when a grounded neutral is wanted with more character than greige.

LRV of Deserted Island
Deserted Island has an LRV of 20.31% 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 20.31%, 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.
