What Color Is Egyptian Temple, Really?
Egyptian Temple reads as a warm red-orange tone — mid-tone — versatile but shifts visibly with light. The notes below cover how Behr UL180-22 behaves in different light and the closest matches at competing US brands.
Best Rooms and Uses for Egyptian Temple
Egyptian Temple is versatile enough for full rooms but has enough depth to anchor a space, so it suits living rooms, bedrooms and cabinetry alike. Yellows lift kitchens, hallways and kids' rooms with warmth.
How Lighting Changes Egyptian Temple
Egyptian Temple sits in the mid-range at LRV 48, so it shifts visibly through the day — lighter and more open in morning light, deeper and moodier after dark. Its orange undertone is the part to watch: it gets picked up by whatever sits next to it, so test it against your trim, floor and the room's main light before committing. South-facing rooms will pull it lighter and warmer, while north light cools it down.
Most complaints about Egyptian Temple are a light mismatch. Upload a photo of your actual room and see it on your walls — then ask for the same wall in north light or evening lamps before you buy a single sample.
Need It From Another Brand?
Any paint counter can custom-tint Behr UL180-22 directly. If you would rather stay in one brand's own deck, these are the closest stock matches, measured as ΔE2000. Under 2 is a difference you will not see on the wall.
