What color is Behr Parisian Cafè?
Behr Parisian Cafè MQ2-33 is a muted mid-tone taupe with a soft brown-gray cast and low, dusty saturation. Its warmth keeps it from feeling stark, while the gray influence gives walls a grounded, weathered look rather than a noticeably beige one. In daylight, this shade can read as a gentle mushroom taupe; under warm lamps, its brown notes become more apparent. Use it in living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways where a deeper neutral can add definition without creating heavy contrast. Pair Parisian Cafè with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, natural oak, linen upholstery, and aged bronze or black metal details.

LRV of Parisian Cafè
Parisian Cafè has an LRV of 30.11% 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 30.11%, 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.
