What color is Behr Mourning Dove?
Behr Mourning Dove OR-W12 is a very light, softly warm off-white with a creamy beige cast rather than a stark white appearance. Its pale depth helps walls feel bright while keeping the finish gentler than pure white, especially beside crisp white trim. In daylight, Mourning Dove reads as a muted ivory; under warm lamps, its beige warmth becomes more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways where a low-contrast neutral backdrop is wanted. Pair it with natural oak, linen upholstery, woven textures, and soft taupe or muted olive accents for an understated, layered palette.

LRV of Mourning Dove
Mourning Dove has an LRV of 80.94% 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 80.94%, 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.
