What color is Behr Renoir Bisque?
Behr Renoir Bisque PPU4-14 is a light, muted beige with a noticeable warm sandy cast. Its soft tan base carries gentle peachy-beige undertones, giving it more color than a pale cream without making a room feel dark. In bright daylight, Renoir Bisque reads as a sun-warmed neutral, while evening lighting can bring out its warmer, slightly rosy side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a grounded neutral is wanted, and it can also give kitchen cabinetry a subtle, earthy finish. Pair this shade with chalky whites, medium warm woods, aged brass, clay accents, or deeper brown-gray textiles for contrast.

LRV of Renoir Bisque

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 54.43%, 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.
