What color is Behr Thai Curry?
Behr Thai Curry M320-7 is a deep, muted golden-olive with a noticeably earthy cast. Its low, brown-gold base keeps the color from reading bright yellow, giving it a grounded appearance on walls and built-ins. In direct daylight, Thai Curry can show more of its ochre warmth, while lower or cooler light brings forward its olive and khaki undertones. It is well suited to a dining room, study, mudroom, or kitchen cabinetry where a darker color can add definition without looking near-black. Pair it with warm white trim, matte black hardware, natural oak, leather, and clay-toned textiles for a layered, material-focused palette.

LRV of Thai Curry
Thai Curry has an LRV of 20.11% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 20.11%, 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.
