What color is Behr Crisp Linen?
Behr Crisp Linen MQ3-13 is a pale, muted off-white with a soft beige cast that keeps it warmer than a stark white. Its low saturation gives walls a lightly softened appearance, while the subtle yellow-tan undertone becomes more noticeable in bright daylight. In north-facing rooms, Crisp Linen may read a little grayer and quieter; warmer evening light brings out its creamy side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a gentle neutral backdrop is wanted, and it pairs especially well with natural oak, woven fibers, warm gray upholstery, and deeper mushroom or charcoal accents.

LRV of Crisp Linen
Crisp Linen has an LRV of 75.34% 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 75.34%, 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.
