What color is Behr Dusting Powder?
Behr Dusting Powder BL-W05 is a very light, muted off-white with a soft gray-green cast. Its high brightness keeps walls looking open and clean, while the faint green undertone prevents it from reading as a stark, icy white. In north-facing rooms, Dusting Powder may appear a little cooler and grayer; warmer daylight and incandescent lighting can bring out its gentle green tint. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and airy living spaces where a quiet near-white is wanted without a creamy yellow base. Pair it with pale oak, brushed nickel, soft charcoal, matte black details, or deeper olive and eucalyptus greens for definition.

LRV of Dusting Powder
Dusting Powder has an LRV of 82.28% 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 82.28%, 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.
