What color is Behr Rice Wine?

Behr Rice Wine M320-2 is a light, creamy off-white with a noticeable soft yellow-beige cast. Its pale value keeps it bright on walls, while the warmth prevents it from reading stark or icy. In daylight, Rice Wine can look like a gentle buttery cream; under warm bulbs, its golden undertone becomes more apparent. It suits kitchens, dining rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a lighter backdrop is wanted without the coolness of a pure white. Pair it with natural oak, woven textures, warm brass, terracotta accents, or muted olive and clay tones for a grounded palette.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 80.36%, 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.
