What color is Behr Fresh Dew?
Behr Fresh Dew M370-1 is a very light, softened yellow-green that reads almost off-white at first glance. Its faint green cast keeps it from feeling creamy, while the pale yellow undertone adds a gentle touch of warmth. In bright daylight, Fresh Dew can look clean and airy; under warmer bulbs, its subtle yellow-green character becomes more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, kitchens, and bathrooms where a quiet alternative to plain white is wanted, especially on full walls or cabinetry. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, natural linen, and muted sage or olive accents for a layered, low-contrast palette.

What are Behr Fresh Dew undertones?
Fresh Dew is a near-white, very muted green-tinted off-white. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-green bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-green. Warm light can make it look more olive and earthy, while cool daylight usually makes the green direction easier to notice.

LRV of Fresh Dew
Fresh Dew has an LRV of 88.1% 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 88.1%, 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.
