What color is Behr Clean Canvas?
Behr Clean Canvas HDC-AC-11 is a very light, creamy off-white with a clear warm cast. Its #f6e9d3 value suggests soft beige-yellow undertones with a faint peachy note, rather than a stark or cool white. In bright daylight, it should read airy and pale; under warm bulbs, the creaminess will become more noticeable. Use it on living room, bedroom, or hallway walls when you want a gentle backdrop that still has more color than pure white. Clean Canvas pairs naturally with light oak, woven linen, muted terracotta, and warm charcoal accents.

LRV of Clean Canvas
Clean Canvas has an LRV of 82.54% 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 82.54%, 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.
