What color is Behr Rice Crackers?
Behr Rice Crackers S240-2 is a light, softly muted beige with a noticeable warm peach-tan cast. Its pale value keeps it from feeling heavy, while the gentle warmth gives plain white trim a less stark companion. In bright daylight, Rice Crackers can read as a creamy sand tone; under warmer evening bulbs, its rosy beige undertone becomes more apparent. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a quiet neutral is wanted without drifting gray. Pair it with warm white, natural oak, woven linen, terracotta pottery, or deeper caramel and clay accents.

LRV of Rice Crackers
Rice Crackers has an LRV of 62.61% 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 62.61%, 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.
