What color is Behr Lost Canyon?
Behr Lost Canyon MQ6-29 is a muted mid-tone taupe with a noticeable gray cast and soft brown warmth. Its #998e7a value keeps it grounded rather than pale, giving walls enough presence without reading overly dark. In daylight, the gray-beige character is likely to feel understated and natural, while warmer lamps can bring forward its earthy brown side. Use it in living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, and matte black hardware. Natural oak, aged brass, linen upholstery, and stone surfaces all suit this low-saturation shade.

LRV of Lost Canyon
Lost Canyon has an LRV of 27.66% 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 27.66%, 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.
