What color is Behr Even Better Beige?
Behr Even Better Beige DC-010 is a light, muted beige with a gentle warm cast and a softly softened, low-saturation appearance. Its #D4CABA value keeps it pale enough for broad wall coverage while retaining more body than a stark off-white. In bright daylight, this shade can read as a creamy neutral, while lower or indirect light may bring out its slightly grayer, more subdued side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and open-plan spaces where a calm background is needed without making the room feel cold. Pair Even Better Beige with natural oak, warm white trim, linen textiles, charcoal accents, or aged brass for contrast.
LRV of Even Better Beige
Even Better Beige has an LRV of 60% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 60%, 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.
