What color is Behr Old Map?
Behr Old Map N230-2 is a light, muted beige with a gentle warm cast and a touch of soft gray that keeps it from reading too creamy. Its low saturation gives walls a quiet, powdery look rather than a pronounced tan or yellow-beige appearance. In daylight, Old Map can feel pale and lightly rosy-beige, while warmer evening lighting brings out its subtle warmth. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways where a soft neutral backdrop is wanted without using stark white. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, clay-toned accents, or charcoal details for more contrast.

LRV of Old Map
Old Map has an LRV of 59.7% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 59.7%, 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.
