What color is Behr Exclusive Ivory?
Behr Exclusive Ivory HDC-MD-11 is a pale, low-saturation off-white with a gentle warm cast. Its #eee6d8 value reads as creamy rather than stark, with soft beige undertones that keep it from looking icy against white trim. In bright daylight, this shade appears light and clean, while evening lighting can bring out more of its muted warmth. Use it on living room, bedroom, or hallway walls when a softer alternative to pure white is needed. It pairs naturally with warm oak, linen upholstery, brushed brass, sandy neutrals, and deep brown or charcoal accents.

What are Behr Exclusive Ivory undertones?
Exclusive Ivory is a near-white, very muted creamy off-white. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Exclusive Ivory
Exclusive Ivory has an LRV of 79.68% 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 79.68%, 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.
