What color is Behr Outdoor Land?
Behr Outdoor Land MQ2-11 is a muted medium tan with warm brown and soft clay undertones. Its earthy #a07d5e character sits between a weathered caramel and a subdued terracotta-beige, giving it noticeable warmth without looking overly orange. In bright natural light, this shade can read a little lighter and more sunbaked, while evening light brings out its deeper brown base. It suits living rooms, entryways, and exterior trim where a grounded neutral is wanted, and can also add substance to cabinetry or an accent wall. Pair Outdoor Land with creamy off-whites, dusty olive greens, charcoal details, natural oak, aged brass, or matte black hardware.

LRV of Outdoor Land
Outdoor Land has an LRV of 23.23% 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 23.23%, 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.
