What color is Behr Frothy Surf?
Behr Frothy Surf BL-W08 is a very light, softly muted off-white with a subtle green-gray cast. Its high lightness keeps walls open and airy, while the low saturation prevents the color from reading stark or clinical. In bright daylight, Frothy Surf can look nearly white with a faint cool tint; under warmer lamps, its gentle gray-green note becomes a little more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, and quiet living spaces, especially alongside pale oak, brushed nickel, soft charcoal, and crisp white trim. Use it across full walls or cabinetry when you want a restrained backdrop with more character than a plain white.

LRV of Frothy Surf
Frothy Surf has an LRV of 81.62% 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 81.62%, 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.
