About Even Better Beige
Behr Even Better Beige (DC-010) LRV and undertone
Behr Even Better Beige (DC-010) has an LRV of 60 and belongs to the light beige color family. LRV describes the percentage of visible light a paint color reflects. A value of 60 indicates moderate-to-high reflectance compared with darker wall colors, while offering more depth than a light white. Its calculated undertone is warm yellow, which can influence how the beige appears beside gray, white, and wood finishes. Even Better Beige may look warmer under southern daylight and less warm under cooler northern light. However, the surrounding colors also affect perception. Test the paint beside the actual flooring, cabinetry, and trim to check whether its warmth suits the room.
