What color is Behr Nice Cream?
Behr Nice Cream OR-W4 is a very light, warm cream with a noticeable but restrained buttery-yellow cast. Its high brightness keeps it from feeling heavy, while the soft golden warmth gives white-adjacent spaces more color and definition. In sunlit rooms, Nice Cream can read as a pale custard cream; under warmer evening bulbs, its yellow undertone becomes more apparent. It suits living room, bedroom, and dining room walls, especially alongside natural oak, woven linen, warm white trim, and brushed brass details. For contrast, pair this color with muted sage, clay-toned accents, or deep charcoal furnishings.

What are Behr Nice Cream undertones?
Nice Cream is a near-white, muted warm cream. The HEX sample leans yellow-orange; this describes its measurable digital hue direction, not a hidden paint pigment. 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 Nice Cream
Nice Cream has an LRV of 85% 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 85%, 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.
