What color is Behr Moxie?
Behr Moxie MQ3-35 is a very light, softly muted blush-gray with a gentle warm cast. Its subtle pink-beige undertone keeps it from reading like a plain off-white, while the low saturation gives it a quiet, powdery appearance. In bright daylight, Moxie can look pale and airy; under warmer artificial lighting, its rosy notes become more noticeable. It is well suited to bedroom walls, a softly colored nursery, or a bathroom paired with crisp white trim. Try it alongside warm white, pale oak, brushed brass, linen, and muted taupe for a restrained, natural-looking palette.

What are Behr Moxie undertones?
Moxie is a light, very muted pale rose-beige. The HEX sample has a subtle red bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear red. 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 Moxie
Moxie has an LRV of 72.23% 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 72.23%, 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.
