What color is Behr Crystal Cut?
Behr Crystal Cut PR-W13 is a very pale off-white with a soft warm cast that keeps it from reading stark or bluish. Its high lightness makes it well suited to walls and ceilings in rooms that need an open, clean backdrop. In bright daylight, Crystal Cut can appear nearly white, while evening lighting may bring out its faint creamy-beige warmth. Pair it with natural oak, light stone, woven linen, or muted clay accents for a layered neutral scheme. It also provides a gentle complement to charcoal hardware, black window frames, and deeper green or blue-gray furnishings.

What are Behr Crystal Cut undertones?

LRV of Crystal Cut
Crystal Cut has an LRV of 90.93% 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 90.93%, 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.
