What color is Behr Bakery Box?
Behr Bakery Box BL-W09 is an extremely light, softly muted off-white with a faint cool green-gray cast. Its high brightness keeps rooms looking open, while the subtle tint gives it more character than a plain white. In north-facing light, Bakery Box may read a little crisper and grayer; warmer afternoon light can make it appear softer and more neutral. It suits bedroom and bathroom walls particularly well, as well as airy kitchen cabinetry when a low-contrast look is desired. Pair it with natural oak, honed marble, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or deeper sage greens to draw out its understated green undertone.

LRV of Bakery Box
Bakery Box has an LRV of 89.36% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 89.36%, 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.
