What color is Behr Rococo Gold?
Behr Rococo Gold S300-7 is a deep, earthy golden brown with a clear warm cast and a softened, slightly muted finish. Its brown base keeps the gold from reading bright or yellow, giving it substantial presence on a dining room wall, library, or den. In direct daylight, the ochre-gold notes become more apparent, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its richer brown side. Rococo Gold suits cabinetry, built-ins, and accent walls particularly well when paired with creamy off-whites, charcoal, dark olive, or blackened metal details. Natural oak, walnut, aged brass, and textured linen all reinforce the color’s grounded warmth.

LRV of Rococo Gold
Rococo Gold has an LRV of 19.4% 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 19.4%, 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.
