What color is Behr Seasoned Salt?
Behr Seasoned Salt S330-3 is a light, muted beige with a noticeable sandy-yellow cast that keeps it on the warm side. Its softened, low-saturation look gives walls gentle color without reading as stark cream or deep tan. In bright daylight, Seasoned Salt can appear like a pale oatmeal beige, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its deeper golden-beige undertones. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a quiet neutral is needed with more warmth than a typical gray-beige. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven linen, and aged brass, or add contrast through charcoal, olive, or deep brown accents.

LRV of Seasoned Salt
Seasoned Salt has an LRV of 53.8% 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 53.8%, 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.
