What color is Behr Fashion Week?
Behr Fashion Week MQ1-37 is a muted, medium-depth gray with a noticeable dusty rose-brown cast. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded and understated, reading as a soft taupe-gray in daylight while warmer lighting can bring out its pinkish clay undertone. It suits bedrooms, dining rooms, and powder rooms where a deeper neutral is wanted without the starkness of charcoal. Pair Fashion Week with creamy off-whites, weathered oak, matte black hardware, or brushed brass for a layered, lived-in look. It can also give cabinetry or an accent wall a quiet contrast against pale beige or warm white surroundings.

What are Behr Fashion Week undertones?
Fashion Week is a midtone, very muted muted taupe. The HEX sample has a subtle red bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear red. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Fashion Week
Fashion Week has an LRV of 27.1% 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 27.1%, 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.
