What color is Behr Stone Walls?

Behr Stone Walls PPU8-19 is a muted mid-tone beige with a noticeable gray cast and a softly earthy, slightly olive-leaning base. Its low saturation keeps it from reading yellow, giving walls a grounded, weathered-stone appearance rather than a creamy beige look. In bright daylight, Stone Walls can appear lighter and more neutral; under warmer lamps, its beige and khaki notes become more apparent. It suits living rooms, hallways, bedrooms, and exterior trim where a restrained neutral is needed. Pair it with off-white, charcoal, deep brown wood, black metal, or linen textiles for a layered, natural palette.

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 38.71%, 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.
