What color is Behr Melodic White?
Behr Melodic White PR-W03 is a light, softened white with a faint warm cast that keeps it from reading stark or clinical. It has the look of white cotton washed a few times: clean, but slightly muted and easy on the eyes. In bright daylight it appears fairly crisp, while north-facing rooms may bring out its subtle gray-beige undertone; warm bulbs make it look creamier by evening. Use it across walls and ceilings in bedrooms, hallways, or open living areas where a bright backdrop is wanted without the sharpness of a pure white. Natural oak, linen, honed stone, aged brass, and deep olive or navy accents give this shade some welcome contrast.
LRV of Melodic White
Melodic White has an LRV of 82.07% 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 82.07%, 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.
