What color is Behr Bleached Linen?
Behr Bleached Linen PPU5-09 is a pale, warm off-white with a soft beige-cream cast rather than a crisp, stark-white look. Its light value keeps walls bright, while the subtle warmth prevents the color from feeling cold or clinical. In daylight, Bleached Linen can read as a gentle creamy white; under warmer bulbs, its beige undertone becomes more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways where a quiet neutral backdrop is wanted, and it can also soften cabinetry or trim when pure white feels too sharp. Pair it with natural oak, woven linen, matte black hardware, muted olive, or earthy clay accents for a grounded palette.

LRV of Bleached Linen
Bleached Linen has an LRV of 84.55% 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 84.55%, 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.
