What color is Behr Mushroom Bisque?
Behr Mushroom Bisque PPU4-07 is a muted light tan with a warm, softly beige cast and a touch of earthy depth. Its #cab49b color value keeps it from reading as a pale cream; instead, it has enough body to define a room without becoming dark. In bright daylight, Mushroom Bisque can appear lighter and more softly sand-colored, while lower or warmer light brings out its richer biscuit-like warmth. It suits living room walls, bedrooms, and hallways where a neutral needs more presence than off-white. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven linen, aged brass, and deeper brown or clay-colored accents.
LRV of Mushroom Bisque
Mushroom Bisque has an LRV of 47.8% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 47.8%, 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.
