What color is Behr Garbanzo Paste?
Behr Garbanzo Paste M290-4 is a light, sun-warmed golden beige with a clear yellow-orange cast. Its mid-light value keeps it bright enough for larger walls, while the earthy depth prevents it from reading like a pale cream. In strong daylight, Garbanzo Paste can show more of its golden warmth; softer evening light tends to make it look more muted and honeyed. It suits kitchens, dining rooms, and living areas with natural oak, woven fibers, terracotta, or aged brass details. Pair it with soft off-whites, warm clay tones, or deep olive accents for contrast that feels grounded rather than sharp.

LRV of Garbanzo Paste
Garbanzo Paste has an LRV of 59.26% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 59.26%, 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.
