What color is Behr Toasted Bagel?
Behr Toasted Bagel S230-7 is a medium-deep brown with a clear warm, russet cast drawn from its #986b4d color value. It reads as an earthy blend of brown, muted orange, and soft red rather than a neutral beige or dark chocolate. In bright daylight, its warmer clay-like notes become more noticeable, while lower lighting can make it appear richer and more grounded. This shade has enough depth for a dining room, den, or powder room wall, especially when paired with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, or charcoal accents. Toasted Bagel also suits wood cabinetry or a front door, where its burnished brown character can complement natural oak, leather, aged brass, and terracotta tile.

LRV of Toasted Bagel
Toasted Bagel has an LRV of 17.96% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 17.96%, 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.
