What color is Behr Rusty Gate?
Behr Rusty Gate M200-7 is a medium-deep earthy orange with clear reddish-brown undertones. Its #AF6649 color value gives it the look of sunbaked clay or weathered terracotta rather than a bright, citrusy orange. In strong daylight, Rusty Gate can read warmer and more copper-toned, while lower or north-facing light brings out its grounded brown cast. It has enough depth for a dining room, entry, or exterior front door, and it also makes a focused accent behind open shelving or on a fireplace surround. Pair this color with warm white trim, sand-colored textiles, natural oak, aged brass, and charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Rusty Gate
Rusty Gate has an LRV of 19.12% 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 19.12%, 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.
