What color is Behr Gilded Glamour?
Behr Gilded Glamour MQ2-06 is a medium-deep brown with a noticeable golden cast, reading like warm ochre softened with earthy wood tones. Its #956841 color value gives it a grounded, moderately saturated appearance rather than a pale metallic gold. In bright daylight, the warm yellow-brown undertone is more apparent, while lower light can make this shade look richer and more muted. Gilded Glamour suits dining room walls, studies, mudrooms, or a warm accent wall behind natural wood furniture. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal, deep olive, black metal, and walnut or oak finishes for contrast that keeps the color from feeling too heavy.

LRV of Gilded Glamour
Gilded Glamour has an LRV of 16.67% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 16.67%, 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.
