What color is Behr Woodcraft?
Behr Woodcraft N200-5 is a muted mid-tone taupe with a noticeable gray cast and soft brown warmth. Its low-key, earthy color value keeps it from reading too beige, giving walls a grounded look without becoming dark. In bright daylight, Woodcraft can appear more gray-taupe, while warmer lamps may bring forward its brown undertone. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a medium neutral is needed to add more presence than an off-white. Pair it with creamy whites, charcoal accents, weathered wood, black metal, and natural linen for a layered, practical interior palette.

What are Behr Woodcraft undertones?
Woodcraft is a midtone, very muted caramel tan. The HEX sample has a subtle orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Woodcraft
Woodcraft has an LRV of 24.08% 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 24.08%, 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.
