# Behr Lentil

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/behr-lentil](https://plan-home.com/color/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.
