What color is Behr My Sweetheart?
Behr My Sweetheart RD-W03 is a very light blush-tinted neutral with a soft peach-pink cast. Its high brightness keeps the color airy on broad walls, while the muted saturation prevents it from reading like a sugary pastel. In daylight, My Sweetheart can appear close to a creamy off-white with a gentle rosy warmth; warmer evening bulbs bring out more of its peach undertone. It suits bedrooms, nurseries, powder rooms, and dressing areas where a barely-there flush of color is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, linen textiles, matte brass, or muted terracotta accents for a cohesive look.

What are Behr My Sweetheart undertones?
My Sweetheart is a near-white, very muted creamy off-white. 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 My Sweetheart
My Sweetheart has an LRV of 83.19% 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 83.19%, 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.
