What color is Behr Sandstone Cliff?

Behr Sandstone Cliff 750C-3 is a light, muted beige with a gentle warm cast and a soft grayed quality that keeps it from reading too yellow. Its low saturation gives walls a quiet, plaster-like look rather than a crisp cream finish. In bright daylight, it can appear pale and airy, while evening lighting tends to draw out its warmer beige notes. Use Sandstone Cliff in living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways where a subtle neutral is preferred over stark white. It pairs well with warm oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, charcoal accents, and off-white trim.

What are Behr Sandstone Cliff undertones?

Sandstone Cliff is a light, very muted sandy beige. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Sandstone Cliff

Sandstone Cliff has an LRV of 58.75% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?

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 58.75%, 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.
