What color is Behr Frosting Cream?
Behr Frosting Cream M250-1 is a very light cream with a clear warm peach-beige cast. Its pale, low-saturation look keeps walls bright without reading as stark white, especially in rooms with warm daylight. In north-facing spaces or cooler artificial light, the creamy base may appear softer and slightly more muted. Use it in bedrooms, living rooms, or on ceilings and trim where a gentle alternative to white is wanted. It pairs naturally with honey-toned wood, oatmeal textiles, terracotta accents, and muted sage or dusty blue details.

LRV of Frosting Cream
Frosting Cream has an LRV of 78.42% 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 78.42%, 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.
