What color is Behr Garden Rose White?
Behr Garden Rose White HDC-CT-02 is a very light, creamy off-white with a clear warm cast drawn from its soft peach-beige base. Its pale value keeps walls looking open and bright, while the warmth prevents the color from reading stark or icy. In north-facing rooms, Garden Rose White may appear slightly more beige, while warm afternoon light can bring out its subtle buttery-peach character. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a gentle alternative to pure white is needed, and it can also soften painted trim or cabinetry. Pair it with natural oak, linen upholstery, muted terracotta, warm gray, or dusty green for a grounded palette.

LRV of Garden Rose White
Garden Rose White has an LRV of 83.36% 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 83.36%, 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.
