What color is Behr Mocha Ice?
Behr Mocha Ice N150-1 is a pale, low-saturation neutral with a soft beige base and a subtle rosy-gray cast. Its light value keeps walls looking open and airy, while the warmth prevents it from reading stark or icy. In daylight, it can appear like a gentle off-white with muted blush-beige undertones; in lower light, the gray influence becomes a little more noticeable. Mocha Ice suits bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways where a quiet neutral is wanted without the yellow pull of many creams. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, linen upholstery, brushed brass, or charcoal accents for definition.

What are Behr Mocha Ice undertones?
Mocha Ice is a light, very muted muted beige. The HEX sample has a subtle orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Mocha Ice
Mocha Ice has an LRV of 66.4% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 66.4%, 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.
