What color is Behr Roasted Seeds?
Behr Roasted Seeds M220-5 is a warm, mid-light peachy tan with a noticeable orange cast and a softened rosy undertone. Its earthy warmth can make a north-facing room feel less stark, while bright afternoon light may bring out its sun-baked apricot character. Use it on dining room or bedroom walls when you want more color than beige without moving into a strong orange. Roasted Seeds pairs well with creamy off-whites, clay browns, muted olive greens, and natural oak or woven cane finishes. It also makes a grounded accent color for cabinetry or a front door alongside warm neutral siding.

LRV of Roasted Seeds
Roasted Seeds has an LRV of 43.01% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 43.01%, 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.
