What color is Behr Spice Bazaar?
Behr Spice Bazaar PPU4-18 is a medium-depth, earthy brown with a clear warm orange cast. Its muted terracotta and caramel undertones keep it from reading as a flat dark brown, giving the color a sunbaked, clay-like character. In bright natural light, Spice Bazaar can show more of its warm cinnamon tone, while evening lighting draws out its deeper brown side. It makes a grounded choice for a dining room, study, or accent wall, and can also bring substantial color to painted cabinetry. Pair it with creamy off-whites, softened olive greens, blackened metal, and natural woods such as oak or walnut.

LRV of Spice Bazaar
Spice Bazaar has an LRV of 14.05% 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 14.05%, 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.
