Behr
Warm Cognac
MQ2-42
In bright light, the orange side becomes clearer; at night it deepens toward caramel brown. Pair with black metal and creamy stone. If nearby floors are already orange, sample carefully so the room does not become too one-note.
Color Codes
Warm Cognac 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
53.1LRV 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.
