What color is Behr Falling Snow?
Behr Falling Snow PPU18-07 is a very light off-white with a subtle softened yellow-green cast that keeps it from reading stark or icy. Its high lightness makes it a useful wall color for rooms that need brightness without the sharp contrast of a pure white. In daylight, Falling Snow appears clean and gently muted; under warm evening lighting, its quiet creamy side becomes more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways, especially alongside pale oak, limestone, linen, and warm gray textiles. Use it on walls or cabinetry with deeper charcoal, olive, or black accents to give the pale finish more definition.

What are Behr Falling Snow undertones?
Falling Snow is a near-white, very muted cream. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow. 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 Falling Snow
Falling Snow has an LRV of 86.81% 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 86.81%, 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.
