What color is Behr Woven Straw?
Behr Woven Straw PPU7-21 is a muted, mid-light beige with a noticeable golden-tan cast. Its #c1ac8b color value gives it an earthy, softly weathered look rather than a pale cream or a gray-leaning neutral. In bright daylight, Woven Straw can read as a warm straw beige, while lower or north-facing light may bring out its subdued khaki-brown side. It suits living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms where a warmer neutral is wanted without going too yellow. Pair it with off-white trim, warm wood, aged brass, charcoal accents, or deep olive textiles for a grounded palette.

LRV of Woven Straw
Woven Straw has an LRV of 42.69% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 42.69%, 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.
