What color is Behr Cave Pearl?
Behr Cave Pearl RD-W07 is a very light, softly muted off-white with a subtle warm cast visible in its pale beige-pink base. Its low saturation keeps it from reading sugary or overly creamy, giving walls a gentle, powdery look rather than a crisp white finish. In bright daylight, Cave Pearl appears airy and nearly neutral; under warmer lamps, its blush-beige undertone becomes more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas where stark white would feel too sharp, and it can also soften painted cabinetry. Pair it with natural oak, light limestone, brushed brass, muted clay tones, or charcoal accents for contrast.

What are Behr Cave Pearl undertones?
Cave Pearl is a near-white, very muted creamy off-white. The HEX sample has a subtle orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear orange. 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 Cave Pearl
Cave Pearl has an LRV of 78.73% 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 78.73%, 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.
