What color is Behr Sweet Tea?
Behr Sweet Tea S210-3 is a light, muted tan with a noticeable peachy-beige cast. Its warmth comes through clearly without reading overly yellow, giving it a soft, clay-like appearance on walls. In bright daylight, Sweet Tea can look like a pale sandy neutral, while lower or warmer artificial light may bring out its rosy undertone. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways where a warmer neutral is wanted in place of gray or stark cream. Pair it with off-white trim, medium brown wood, woven linen, and muted olive or dusty blue accents for contrast.

LRV of Sweet Tea
Sweet Tea has an LRV of 48.61% 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 48.61%, 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.
