What color is Behr Touch Of Class?
Behr Touch Of Class MQ1-47 is a muted, mid-depth rosy taupe with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly pink. Its subtle red-brown warmth is most noticeable in daylight, while lower evening light can bring out its more grounded, mauve-leaning side. This color has enough depth for a dining room, bedroom, or powder room without making the walls feel heavy. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, aged brass, and medium-toned wood for a layered, lived-in look. Touch Of Class also makes a considered choice for painted cabinetry or a single accent wall where a neutral with more character is wanted.

LRV of Touch Of Class
Touch Of Class has an LRV of 19% 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 19%, 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.
