How Elemental Tan behaves on a wall

Our estimate, worked out from the hex colour, puts the light reflectance value of this Behr shade at about 47.7; Behr's own figure may differ. At an estimated LRV of 47.7 this sits mid-scale — dark enough to hold its own against white trim, light enough not to close a room in. Mid-tones shift the most between daylight and lamplight, so check it at both ends of the day. For trim that reads as a clear edge rather than a smudge, aim about 30 LRV points away in either direction — under LRV 18 or over LRV 78. With 44 points between its strongest and weakest channel it holds a readable brown cast, so it will not flatten into a neutral once it is on four walls. Order by the code, not the name, and put a test patch on the wall before you commit — a screen cannot show you how this shade behaves in your own light.
