Behr
Chamois Tan
PPU8-07
Shaded rooms lean taupe around corners and niches. Dens take it well with darker furniture. Warm white trim and textured fabric keep the palette balanced. Very yellow oak can blur into it, so test beside flooring first. The tan is steady.

Chamois Tan in Different Light
Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV
64.4LRV 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.
