What color is Behr Distant Land?
Behr Distant Land N260-5 is a muted medium tan with a noticeable warm, earthy cast. Its #a68a71 color value suggests a blend of beige and brown softened by a subtle grayish restraint, keeping it from reading overly golden. In bright daylight, it can appear like a sun-warmed neutral, while lower or cooler lighting may bring out its deeper taupe-brown side. Use it on living room, dining room, or hallway walls where a grounded neutral is wanted without the pale look of standard beige. Creamy off-whites, dark walnut, aged brass, terracotta textiles, and charcoal accents give this shade clear, natural-looking contrast.

LRV of Distant Land
Distant Land has an LRV of 27.87% 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 27.87%, 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.
