What color is Behr Painter'S White?

Behr Painter'S White PPU18-08 is a pale off-white with a soft, muted warmth and a faint gray-beige cast. Its low-saturation character keeps it from reading stark, making it a gentle option for broad wall areas, ceilings, or painted trim. In bright daylight, this color appears clean and lightly creamy, while lower or cooler light can bring out its subdued gray notes. Painter'S White pairs naturally with warm oak, linen upholstery, brushed nickel, and charcoal or deep olive accents. It is especially suited to living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens where a quieter white is needed without the sharpness of pure white.

LRV of Painter'S White

Painter'S White has an LRV of 75.94% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 75.94%, 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.
