What color is Behr Whiskey Barrel?
Behr Whiskey Barrel N230-6 is a muted, medium-depth brown with a soft taupe cast and restrained warmth. Its low-saturation finish keeps it from reading overly rustic or orange, giving walls a grounded, earthy presence instead. In bright natural light, this shade can appear lighter and more beige-brown, while lower light brings out its deeper, grayer brown side. Use it in a dining room, den, or bedroom with creamy off-whites, warm greige trim, and natural oak or walnut furniture. Whiskey Barrel also suits cabinetry or an exterior accent when paired with stone, aged brass, charcoal, or matte black details.

LRV of Whiskey Barrel
Whiskey Barrel has an LRV of 17.74% 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 17.74%, 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.
