What color is Behr Tanglewood?
Behr Tanglewood N320-3 is a light, muted greige with a soft stone-like cast. Its blend of beige and gray keeps it warmer than a typical pale gray, while the subdued color value prevents it from looking yellow or overly creamy. In bright daylight, this shade can appear airy and lightly weathered; lower or cooler light may bring out its gray-taupe side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a quiet neutral is wanted without stark white walls. Pair Tanglewood with off-white trim, warm oak, linen upholstery, charcoal accents, or aged brass for a grounded, natural-looking palette.

What are Behr Tanglewood undertones?
Tanglewood is a mid-light, very muted sandy beige. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Tanglewood
Tanglewood has an LRV of 51.25% 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 51.25%, 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.
