What color is Behr Dry Brown?
Behr Dry Brown N230-5 is a muted medium brown with warm, earthy undertones that read a little like sun-baked clay mixed with weathered wood. It has enough grayness to keep it from looking orange, giving walls a dry, grounded look rather than a rich chocolate finish. In strong daylight, this shade can appear lighter and more taupe-brown, while warm lamps bring out its softer reddish warmth. Use it in a den, dining room, entry, or on built-in cabinetry alongside warm white trim, oak, aged brass, linen, and natural stone. Deep green, terracotta, and inky navy accents give Dry Brown a stronger contrast without competing with its restrained character.

LRV of Dry Brown
Dry Brown has an LRV of 24.4% 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 24.4%, 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.
