What color is Behr Raisin In The Sun?
Behr Raisin In The Sun N120-6 is a muted, mid-depth rosy brown with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly red. Its subtle mauve undertone becomes more noticeable in balanced daylight, while warmer bulbs can bring forward its earthy, brownish side. This shade has enough depth for a dining room, study, or bedroom wall, especially where a grounded color is wanted without the heaviness of deep burgundy. Pair Raisin In The Sun with warm ivory trim, mushroom beige, weathered oak, and brushed brass for a layered, natural-looking palette. It also makes a considered choice for a painted vanity or built-in cabinetry against pale stone or creamy tile.

LRV of Raisin In The Sun
Raisin In The Sun has an LRV of 16.54% 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 16.54%, 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.
