What color is Behr Pixel White?
Behr Pixel White N530-1 is a very light gray that sits close to white, with a clean, low-saturation appearance. Its nearly neutral cast keeps it from reading overly warm, while the subtle gray becomes more noticeable in shaded corners or alongside crisp white trim. In bright daylight, Pixel White can look airy and pale on broad walls; at night, it takes on a quieter light-gray presence. Use it in kitchens, bedrooms, or open living areas where a soft contrast to white ceilings and millwork is wanted. It pairs naturally with charcoal details, pale oak, brushed nickel, and muted blue-gray or green-gray accents.

LRV of Pixel White
Pixel White has an LRV of 71.14% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 71.14%, 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.
