What color is Behr Mission Brown?
Behr Mission Brown N250-7 is a deep, muted brown with a noticeable warm cast, shown here as #775c47. Its earthy mid-to-dark depth gives walls a grounded look without reading as near-black. In bright daylight, the color can appear a little lighter and more weathered, while lower light brings out its richer brown character. Use it on a study wall, dining room cabinetry, a front door, or exterior trim where a substantial accent is needed. Mission Brown pairs well with creamy off-whites, warm beige stone, aged brass, natural oak, and black metal details.

LRV of Mission Brown
Mission Brown has an LRV of 12.29% 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 12.29%, 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.
