What color is Behr Bay Scallop?
Behr Bay Scallop M240-1 is a very light, warm cream with a noticeable peach-beige cast. Its soft golden undertone keeps it from reading stark white, while the hint of blush gives walls a gentle, sunlit look. In bright daylight, Bay Scallop can appear nearly creamy ivory; under warm lamps, its peachier side becomes more visible. It suits bedrooms, dining rooms, and low-contrast living spaces where a pale color should still provide warmth. Pair it with natural oak, woven textures, warm white trim, and muted clay or sandy beige accents for a cohesive palette.

LRV of Bay Scallop
Bay Scallop has an LRV of 81.78% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 81.78%, 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.
