Behr

Artisan

PPU3-18

Reddish brown gives Artisan weight. Its clay and leather character can carry a saturated earth-tone scheme in a library or small dining room. Evening light will make the red side warmer, especially near lamps with soft bulbs.

Cream textiles can take the edge off. Black iron keeps the shade from feeling rustic. A whole room needs good trim contrast, since the color can close in quickly.

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.
