What color is Behr October Leaves?
Behr October Leaves S210-7 is a deep, muted reddish brown with a clear earthy cast. Its warm blend of brown and brick-red gives walls more weight than a typical terracotta, while the softened saturation keeps it from reading overly bright. In strong daylight, the red undertone becomes more noticeable; lower or warmer light lets its grounded brown side come forward. Use this shade for a dining room, den, powder room, or exterior front door where a darker color can add definition. It pairs naturally with creamy off-whites, warm greige, aged brass, medium oak, leather, and charcoal accents.

LRV of October Leaves
October Leaves has an LRV of 12.5% 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 12.5%, 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.
