What color is Behr Gilded?
Behr Gilded M300-4 is a light, warm golden beige with a soft ochre cast rather than a bright yellow look. Its muted saturation keeps the color grounded, giving walls a sun-warmed appearance that feels more earthy than metallic. In direct daylight, Gilded can read as a creamy honey tan, while evening lighting may bring out its deeper beige and caramel notes. It suits dining rooms, entryways, and living spaces where a warmer neutral is wanted, and it can also add color to cabinetry without becoming overpowering. Pair it with warm white trim, medium-toned wood, aged brass, terracotta, or deep olive accents for a layered, natural palette.

LRV of Gilded
Gilded has an LRV of 48.34% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 48.34%, 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.
