What color is Behr Alice White?
Behr Alice White MQ3-58 is a light blue-gray with a soft, cool cast and low saturation. Its muted color keeps it from reading like a bright pastel, giving walls a clean, lightly misted appearance instead. In daylight, the blue-gray character is likely to feel clearer, while warmer artificial lighting can soften it toward a gentler gray. Alice White suits bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and airy living spaces where a pale cool neutral is wanted. Pair it with crisp white trim, charcoal accents, pale oak, brushed nickel, or warm linen textiles to give the color definition without overwhelming its subtle tone.

LRV of Alice White
Alice White has an LRV of 59.55% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 59.55%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
