What color is Behr Polished Marble?
Behr Polished Marble GR-W13 is a very light, creamy off-white with a soft beige cast rather than a stark white appearance. Its warm, low-saturation character can help walls feel gently softened, especially in rooms with daylight. In brighter exposure, this color reads closer to a pale ivory; under warmer lamps, its subtle tan warmth becomes more noticeable. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a clean backdrop is wanted without the sharpness of pure white. Pair it with natural oak, linen upholstery, warm gray accents, or muted sage and clay tones for an understated palette.

What are Behr Polished Marble undertones?
Polished Marble is a near-white, very muted creamy off-white. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-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 Polished Marble
Polished Marble has an LRV of 81% 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 81%, 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.
