What color is Behr Farm House?

Behr Farm House S320-1 is a pale, creamy off-white with a noticeable warm beige cast. Its soft yellowed undertone keeps it from reading stark, giving walls a lightly sun-warmed appearance in daylight. In north-facing or lower-light rooms, Farm House can settle into a muted oatmeal-like neutral, while bright afternoon light brings out its cleaner ivory side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, halls, and open-plan spaces where a gentle background color is preferred over crisp white. Pair it with natural oak, woven linen, aged brass, clay accents, and deeper brown or olive details for a grounded finish.

What are Behr Farm House undertones?

Farm House 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 Farm House

Farm House has an LRV of 80.76% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 80.76%, 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.
