What color is Behr Gobi Desert?
Behr Gobi Desert 710C-3 is a light, muted beige with a warm sandy cast and a gentle hint of khaki. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading overly yellow, giving walls a grounded, natural-looking neutral. In bright daylight, Gobi Desert can appear lighter and slightly creamier, while evening lighting brings out its deeper tan-beige side. It suits living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms where a warm neutral is wanted without the weight of a dark taupe. Pair it with off-white trim, warm oak, woven linen, matte black details, or dusty green accents.

LRV of Gobi Desert
Gobi Desert has an LRV of 51.2% 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 51.2%, 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.
