What color is Behr Lady Guinevere?
Behr Lady Guinevere MQ1-13 is a muted rosy beige with a softly weathered, low-saturation appearance. Its #caa09e color value shows a warm base tempered by dusty pink and subtle gray notes, keeping it from reading overly sweet or peachy. In bright daylight, Lady Guinevere can look like a pale, faded clay pink, while lower light brings out its quieter taupe-beige side. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and living-room walls where a gentle wash of color is wanted without strong contrast. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm oak, aged brass, charcoal accents, or natural linen for a grounded finish.

LRV of Lady Guinevere
Lady Guinevere has an LRV of 41.52% 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 41.52%, 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.
