What color is Behr Landmark Brown?
Behr Landmark Brown N220-6 is a muted mid-to-deep brown with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly rustic or red. Its warm, earth-based undertone gives the color a softened taupe appearance, especially in daylight, while lower light can bring out its deeper charcoal-brown side. Use it on a study, dining room, or exterior trim when you want definition without the intensity of near-black. Landmark Brown pairs naturally with creamy off-whites, warm greige, blackened bronze hardware, aged leather, and medium-toned wood. On cabinetry or an accent wall, this shade has enough depth to anchor lighter surrounding finishes.

What are Behr Landmark Brown undertones?
Landmark Brown is a midtone, very muted earthy, slightly muddy brown. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Landmark Brown
Landmark Brown has an LRV of 14.22% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 14.22%, 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.
