What color is Behr Fresh Brew?
Behr Fresh Brew M330-5 is a muted golden khaki with a soft, earthy cast. Its #b8aa7d color value reads as warmly toned, sitting between tan, dried grass, and subdued olive-beige rather than a bright yellow. In daylight, it can show its dusty yellow-green undertone more clearly, while warmer evening bulbs make it appear more tan and honeyed. Fresh Brew suits living rooms, dining areas, and bedrooms where a grounded wall color is wanted without going too dark. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, aged bronze, natural oak, or woven linen for a relaxed, material-focused look.

LRV of Fresh Brew
Fresh Brew has an LRV of 39.82% 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 39.82%, 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.
