What color is Behr Translucent Silk?
Behr Translucent Silk MQ3-36 is a light, muted beige with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly creamy. Its #e1d8cc value gives it a gently warm, low-saturation look, similar to pale linen or weathered plaster. In bright natural light, this shade can appear closer to a warm off-white, while lower or cooler light brings out its subtle gray-beige side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and open-plan spaces where a quiet neutral background is wanted without using stark white. Pair Translucent Silk with oak, walnut, brushed nickel, natural stone, and accents in charcoal, dusty blue, or deep olive.

LRV of Translucent Silk
Translucent Silk has an LRV of 69.5% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 69.5%, 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.
