What color is Behr Hidden Treasure?
Behr Hidden Treasure N300-5 is a muted, medium-depth beige-brown with a softly weathered, earthy cast. Its warmth reads more like dried clay or natural khaki than a golden tan, while the subdued grayness keeps it from feeling overly yellow. In bright daylight, this color can appear lighter and more taupe-beige; lower light brings out its deeper brown presence. It is well suited to living room or bedroom walls, and can also give cabinetry a grounded, natural look. Pair Hidden Treasure with warm white trim, charcoal accents, aged brass, linen upholstery, and medium-to-dark wood finishes.

LRV of Hidden Treasure
Hidden Treasure has an LRV of 29.4% 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 29.4%, 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.
