What color is Behr Crème De La Crème?
Behr Crème De La Crème MQ3-33 is a pale, softly muted off-white with a gentle beige-gray cast. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly creamy or yellow, while the slight warmth prevents the color from feeling stark. In bright daylight, it can appear close to a light neutral white; under warmer lamps, its subtle taupe-beige undertone becomes more noticeable. Use it on main walls, ceilings, or cabinetry when you want a quiet backdrop for natural oak, brushed brass, linen, and warm gray textiles. For contrast, pair Crème De La Crème with deeper charcoal, clay brown, or muted olive accents.

LRV of Crème De La Crème
Crème De La Crème has an LRV of 73.22% 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 73.22%, 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.
