What color is Behr Golden Rice?
Behr Golden Rice S290-6 is a medium, muted golden brown with a clear warm ochre cast. Its earthy depth gives it more presence than a typical beige, while the softened saturation keeps it from reading overly yellow. In bright daylight, Golden Rice can show its honeyed warmth; under warmer evening lighting, it shifts toward a deeper caramel-brown. It suits dining rooms, entryways, and studies where a grounded wall color feels appropriate, and it can also make a strong accent on cabinetry or built-ins. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, aged brass, black metal, and medium-to-dark wood for a layered, natural-looking palette.

LRV of Golden Rice
Golden Rice has an LRV of 26.93% 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 26.93%, 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.
