What color is Behr Tiramisu Cream?
Behr Tiramisu Cream HDC-MD-12 is a light, muted beige with a noticeable tan cast and gentle warmth. Its #d3bda4 value keeps it soft rather than crisp, giving walls a creamy, lightly earth-toned appearance. In bright daylight, Tiramisu Cream can read as a pale sandy neutral, while lower or warmer lighting may bring forward its deeper beige character. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a grounded neutral is wanted without moving into gray. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven textures, and clay or caramel accents for a cohesive palette.

LRV of Tiramisu Cream
Tiramisu Cream has an LRV of 53.13% 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 53.13%, 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.
