Behr
Limescent
MQ3-16
Limescent suits living rooms, entries, or bedrooms with natural fibers and warm wood. In shaded corners, the green-beige side may look khaki. Use soft white trim for a smoother result. White oak and linen suit it well. Compare it with existing carpet before committing.
Color Codes
Limescent 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
83.3LRV 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.
