What color is Behr Glazed Pears?
Behr Glazed Pears M270-6 is a medium warm golden-brown with a clear amber cast and a softly muted, earthy finish. Its sunbaked ochre character reads richer in direct afternoon light, while lower or cooler light can bring out its more grounded tan-brown side. Use it on a dining room wall, a powder-room vanity, or built-in cabinetry where its depth can hold its own against pale surroundings. Creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, clay reds, and charcoal accents give Glazed Pears a considered, layered look. Natural oak, aged brass, woven rattan, and matte black hardware are especially fitting material partners.

LRV of Glazed Pears
Glazed Pears has an LRV of 35.74% 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 35.74%, 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.
