What color is Behr Harvest Home?
Behr Harvest Home MQ2-13 is a muted golden beige with a distinctly warm, earth-based cast. Its #cbae84 color value suggests soft tan and honeyed brown undertones rather than a bright yellow or orange finish. In daylight, it can read as a sun-warmed neutral; under warmer bulbs, the golden notes become more noticeable. Use it on living room, dining room, or hallway walls where a medium-light neutral is wanted without the coolness of gray-beige. Harvest Home pairs naturally with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, charcoal accents, and materials such as oak, leather, aged brass, and woven natural fibers.

LRV of Harvest Home
Harvest Home has an LRV of 44.52% 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 44.52%, 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.
