Behr

Armadillo

N230-3

Behr Armadillo is a warm mid-tone greige with brown and beige undertones that lean it toward taupe rather than cool gray. With an LRV of 73.4, it provides enough depth to register as a distinct color while keeping rooms fairly bright. The warm brown base means it may read slightly pink or peachy under strong warm lighting, so sampling under actual conditions is recommended.

Armadillo is commonly applied to living room and bedroom walls, and coordinates with Behr Swiss Coffee, Behr Soft Muslin, Behr Light Drizzle, and Behr Laurel Tree.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
