What color is Behr Safari Vest?
Behr Safari Vest PPU7-22 is a muted, mid-light beige with a noticeable gray cast and soft khaki-tan undertones. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly yellow, giving walls a grounded, lightly weathered neutral appearance. In bright daylight, Safari Vest can look like a pale warm greige, while evening or north-facing light may bring out its quieter gray-beige side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a little warmth is wanted without using a creamier neutral. Pair it with off-white trim, charcoal accents, aged brass, linen upholstery, and natural oak for a layered, understated palette.

LRV of Safari Vest
Safari Vest has an LRV of 38.75% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 38.75%, 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.
