What color is Behr Turmeric?
Behr Turmeric M290-7 is a deep golden ochre with a clearly warm, earthy cast. Its #c08f34 color value reads as a rich yellow-brown, strong enough to hold its own on an accent wall, front door, or painted cabinet base. In bright daylight, Turmeric can appear more golden, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its muted amber-brown depth. Pair it with creamy off-whites, clay-toned neutrals, dark walnut, black metal, or muted olive for a grounded palette. It is especially effective in dining rooms, kitchens, mudrooms, or exterior details where a substantial warm color feels appropriate.

LRV of Turmeric
Turmeric has an LRV of 29.48% 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 29.48%, 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.
