What color is Behr Shiitake?

Behr Shiitake N220-4 is a muted mid-tone taupe with a noticeable beige-brown base softened by gray. Its low-saturation appearance keeps it from reading too tan, giving walls a grounded, softly weathered look rather than a crisp neutral finish. In bright daylight, Shiitake can show more of its warm beige character, while lower or cooler light tends to bring out its gray-taupe side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a deeper neutral is wanted without moving into dark brown. Pair it with warm white trim, charcoal accents, aged brass, natural oak, linen, and stone with sandy or mushroom-toned variation.

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 32.62%, 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.
