What color is Behr Thai Ice Tea?
Behr Thai Ice Tea MQ4-36 is a light, sun-warmed orange with peachy tan undertones and a softened, earthy cast. Its medium-light value keeps the color from feeling heavy, while the visible warmth gives walls a gentle baked-clay appearance. In bright daylight, Thai Ice Tea can read as a clearer apricot-peach; under warmer evening lighting, it settles into a muted caramel-orange. It suits dining rooms, kitchens, powder rooms, or a south-facing living area where a warm wall color can hold its own without becoming too dark. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm beige textiles, natural oak, woven cane, and deep terracotta or olive accents for contrast.

LRV of Thai Ice Tea
Thai Ice Tea has an LRV of 45.28% 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 45.28%, 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.
