What color is Behr Cotton Knit?
Behr Cotton Knit PPU7-11 is a pale, low-saturation neutral with a softly warm cast and a hint of beige-gray beneath its off-white surface. Its light value keeps walls bright without reading as stark white, while the muted warmth helps it sit comfortably beside natural oak, linen, woven textures, and brushed brass. In north-facing rooms, Cotton Knit may appear a little grayer and more subdued; warmer afternoon light brings out its creamier beige side. Use it across living room, bedroom, or hallway walls for a gentle backdrop, or pair it with deeper mushroom, charcoal, olive, or warm wood accents for definition.
LRV of Cotton Knit
Cotton Knit has an LRV of 73.91% 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 73.91%, 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.
