What color is Behr Gallery White?
Behr Gallery White PPU12-12 is a very light off-white with a faint yellow-green cast that keeps it from reading stark or icy. Its high brightness and low saturation give walls a softly muted appearance, with a subtle grayish quality in lower light. In sunlit rooms, Gallery White can look cleaner and slightly warmer, while cool artificial light may bring out its gentle green-gray undertone. It suits open living areas, bedrooms, and kitchens where a pale backdrop is wanted without the sharp contrast of pure white. Pair it with natural oak, light stone, muted sage accents, or soft charcoal details for a grounded palette.

LRV of Gallery White
Gallery White has an LRV of 82.16% 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 82.16%, 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.
