What color is Behr Mayfair White?
Behr Mayfair White M390-1 is a very light, softly muted off-white with a noticeable pale green cast. Its high brightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the green undertone gives it more character than a plain white. In north-facing rooms, this shade may read cooler and slightly grayer; warmer daylight or incandescent lighting can bring out its gentle yellow-green side. Mayfair White suits kitchens, bedrooms, and bathrooms where a clean but not stark backdrop is wanted. Pair it with warm wood, natural linen, creamy trim, or deeper olive and sage accents for a grounded palette.

What are Behr Mayfair White undertones?
Mayfair White is a near-white, very muted green-tinted off-white. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-green bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-green. Warm light can make it look more olive and earthy, while cool daylight usually makes the green direction easier to notice.

LRV of Mayfair White
Mayfair White has an LRV of 83.01% 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 83.01%, 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.
