What color is Behr Lentil?
Behr Lentil N270-2 is a light, muted beige with a noticeable warm sand cast. Its softened tan base keeps it from reading stark or gray, while the low saturation gives walls a gently weathered, natural look. In bright daylight, Lentil can appear closer to a pale oatmeal beige; under warmer lamps, its creamy warmth becomes more apparent. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where white trim, light oak, woven linen, or aged brass are part of the palette. Pair it with soft off-whites, clay-toned accents, and medium brown wood for a grounded, layered interior.

LRV of Lentil
Lentil has an LRV of 59.79% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 59.79%, 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.
