What color is Behr Oiled Teak?
Behr Oiled Teak N180-7 is a deep, muted brown with a noticeable gray cast and soft warm undertones. Its low-saturation finish keeps it from reading overly red or orange, giving the color a grounded, weathered look. In bright daylight, the brown-gray character is clearer, while lower light can make it appear deeper and more shadowed. Oiled Teak suits a study, dining room, or bedroom accent wall where a darker neutral feels intentional rather than stark. Pair it with creamy off-whites, muted clay tones, charcoal, black metal, and natural oak or walnut furniture. It can also bring substantial contrast to cabinetry or exterior trim when set against pale stone or warm white siding.

What are Behr Oiled Teak undertones?
Oiled Teak is a midtone, very muted earthy, slightly muddy brown. The HEX sample has a subtle orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear orange. 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 Oiled Teak
Oiled Teak has an LRV of 11.46% 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 11.46%, 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.
