What color is Behr Mountain Peak White?

Behr Mountain Peak White N430-1 is a pale, softened green-gray with a noticeably cool cast rather than a creamy white base. Its muted color value keeps it light enough for broad wall coverage while giving more definition than a plain white. In daylight, the subtle green influence is likely to read most clearly, while lower or warmer artificial light can make the shade appear quieter and more gray. Use it in bathrooms, bedrooms, or kitchens with brushed nickel, pale oak, white tile, and charcoal details. Mountain Peak White also makes a clean backdrop for deeper forest greens, dusty blues, and warm natural woods.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.

The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).

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.
