Behr
Desert Khaki
N310-4
Use it in a living room, hallway, or exterior body color where softness matters more than brightness. The safest complements are black shutters, linen upholstery, or oak floors. In cool exposure, the green-gray side can show, so compare it against trim whites before committing.

Desert Khaki 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
67.8LRV 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.
