What color is Behr Ginger Tea?
Behr Ginger Tea S320-5 is a muted golden tan with a noticeable yellow-beige cast and a softly earthy, khaki-like undertone. Its medium depth keeps it from reading as a pale cream, while its restrained saturation prevents it from becoming overly mustard. In bright daylight, Ginger Tea can appear warmer and more sunlit; under lower or warmer indoor lighting, it settles into a deeper, browner tan. It suits living rooms, dining rooms, and entryways where a grounded wall color is wanted without using a dark neutral. Pair it with warm white trim, aged brass, medium wood, linen upholstery, or deep olive and charcoal accents.

LRV of Ginger Tea
Ginger Tea has an LRV of 34.66% 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 34.66%, 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.
