What color is Behr Wright Brown?
Behr Wright Brown N140-6 is a muted, medium-dark brown with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly rustic or orange. Its softened warmth makes it a grounded option for a study, dining room, or bedroom where a deeper wall color is wanted without the heaviness of near-black. In bright natural light, Wright Brown can show more of its weathered taupe character, while lower light brings out its richer brown depth. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm greige trim, charcoal textiles, and natural oak or walnut for a layered look. It also suits painted cabinetry or an exterior accent such as shutters and a front door.

LRV of Wright Brown
Wright Brown has an LRV of 13.61% 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 13.61%, 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.
