What color is Behr Cream Puff?
Behr Cream Puff PPU6-10 is a light, warm cream with a soft yellow-beige cast that keeps it from reading stark white. Its pale value reflects plenty of light, making it a practical option for walls in bedrooms, living rooms, or low-light hallways that need a brighter backdrop. In direct daylight, Cream Puff can appear cleaner and more buttery, while evening lighting tends to bring out its warmer, toasted undertone. Pair it with natural oak, woven fibers, terracotta, or muted olive accents for an earthy palette. It also suits trim or cabinetry when a pure white finish would feel too crisp.

LRV of Cream Puff
Cream Puff has an LRV of 78.55% 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 78.55%, 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.
