What color is Behr Fading Fog?
Behr Fading Fog PR-W07 is a very light off-white with a softened gray-beige cast. Its low saturation keeps it quiet and airy, while the slight warmth prevents it from reading stark or icy. In cooler daylight, Fading Fog can appear more silvery gray; under warm lamps, its creamy undertone becomes easier to see. It suits whole-room walls, ceilings, and pale cabinetry, especially alongside natural oak, linen upholstery, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents. Pair it with deeper greige, muted olive, or soft black for definition without overwhelming its subtle character.

LRV of Fading Fog
Fading Fog has an LRV of 78.07% 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 78.07%, 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.
