What color is Behr Candy Floss?
Behr Candy Floss RD-W02 is a very light blush tint with a warm pink-beige cast. Its soft, low-saturation appearance keeps it from reading overly sweet, especially across larger walls. In bright daylight, Candy Floss can appear nearly off-white with a faint rosy warmth, while evening lighting brings out more of its peach-pink undertone. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and nurseries, or can add a gentle wash of color to a ceiling or painted interior door. Pair it with creamy whites, light oak, natural linen, and muted clay or terracotta accents for a grounded look.

What are Behr Candy Floss undertones?

Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Candy Floss
Candy Floss has an LRV of 81.05% 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 81.05%, 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.
