What color is Behr Tea Bag?
Behr Tea Bag PPU8-09 is a muted khaki beige with a soft golden cast and a subtle olive undertone. Its light-to-mid depth keeps it grounded on walls without reading heavy, especially in rooms with ample daylight. In warm afternoon light, Tea Bag can look more wheat-colored, while cooler north-facing light brings out its quieter green-beige side. It suits studies, living rooms, and mudrooms, where it pairs well with cream trim, warm white linens, aged brass, natural oak, and dark olive accents. For cabinetry or an exterior detail, use it alongside deeper brown, charcoal, or black for clearer contrast.

LRV of Tea Bag
Tea Bag has an LRV of 49.92% 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 49.92%, 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.
