What color is Behr Nutmeg Frost?
Behr Nutmeg Frost S210-1 is a pale, warm off-white with a noticeable blush-beige cast. Its soft peach and pink undertones keep it from reading stark, especially beside crisp white trim. In bright daylight, this shade can appear lightly creamy and airy, while evening light may draw out its warmer, muted rose-tan side. It suits bedrooms, nurseries, and living-room walls where a gentle neutral is wanted without a gray undertone. Pair it with warm white, natural oak, woven linen, terracotta accents, or muted olive for a grounded palette.

What are Behr Nutmeg Frost undertones?
Nutmeg Frost is a light, very muted muted beige. 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 Nutmeg Frost
Nutmeg Frost has an LRV of 72.16% 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 72.16%, 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.
