What color is Behr Glazed Ginger?
Behr Glazed Ginger PPU3-13 is a warm, mid-depth tan with a noticeable toasted orange-brown cast. Its #c28c5f color value gives it an earthy presence that reads richer than a pale beige without becoming dark or heavy. In bright natural light, the warm coppery undertone is more apparent, while lower light can make it look more grounded and brown. Use it on a dining room or entry wall where wood furniture, aged brass, and woven natural textures can reinforce its warmth. Creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, charcoal accents, and terracotta-toned textiles provide useful contrast around this shade.

LRV of Glazed Ginger
Glazed Ginger has an LRV of 31.13% 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 31.13%, 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.
