What color is Behr Polished Pearl?
Behr Polished Pearl PPU6-09 is a very light creamy off-white with a noticeable warm, softly yellowed beige cast. Its high brightness keeps it from reading heavy, while the low saturation gives walls a gently washed, plaster-like appearance rather than a crisp white finish. In daylight, Polished Pearl can look like pale ivory; under warm evening bulbs, its golden cream undertone becomes more apparent. It is well suited to living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and ceilings where a clean white might feel too stark. Pair it with natural oak, linen upholstery, woven jute, warm brass, and muted clay or olive accents for a grounded palette.
LRV of Polished Pearl
Polished Pearl has an LRV of 85.33% 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 85.33%, 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.
