What color is Behr Ivory Lace?
Behr Ivory Lace PPU7-15 is a light, warm off-white with a soft beige-cream cast. Its #ece2cc color value gives it enough warmth to avoid looking stark, while its pale depth keeps walls bright and open. In daylight, Ivory Lace reads as a gentle creamy neutral; warmer evening bulbs can bring out its subdued golden-beige side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and kitchens where a clean white would feel too sharp. Pair it with natural oak, woven linen, warm white trim, muted clay accents, or deep olive for contrast.

LRV of Ivory Lace
Ivory Lace has an LRV of 76.32% 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 76.32%, 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.
