What color is Behr True Taupewood?
Behr True Taupewood PPU24-09 is a muted, mid-tone taupe with a soft beige cast and a gently weathered gray influence. Its low-saturation color keeps it from reading overly brown, giving walls a grounded neutral look without the starkness of a cool gray. In bright daylight, this shade can appear lighter and more stone-like, while lower or warmer light brings out its beige-taupe warmth. True Taupewood is well suited to living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where natural wood floors, linen upholstery, or woven textures are part of the palette. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, matte black hardware, and medium-toned oak for a layered, restrained finish.

LRV of True Taupewood
True Taupewood has an LRV of 35.85% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 35.85%, 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.
