What color is Behr Mystere?
Behr Mystere N130-5 is a muted, medium-depth rosy taupe with a softly weathered cast. Its red-brown base keeps it warm, while the restrained grayness prevents it from reading overly pink or terracotta. In daylight, Mystere can look like a dusty mauve-brown; under warm lamps, its earthy rose undertone becomes more noticeable. It brings welcome color to a bedroom, dining room, or powder room without making the walls feel overly dark. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, natural oak, aged brass, or textured linen for a grounded, layered look.

What are Behr Mystere undertones?
Mystere is a midtone, very muted muted taupe. The HEX sample has a subtle red bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear red. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Mystere
Mystere has an LRV of 24.53% 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 24.53%, 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.
