What color is Behr Porcelain Skin?
Behr Porcelain Skin PPU4-10 is a light, warm beige with a soft peachy-cream cast. Its pale value keeps rooms feeling open, while the muted color prevents it from reading as stark white. In bright daylight, Porcelain Skin can show more of its creamy warmth; under warmer evening bulbs, its peach-beige undertone becomes more noticeable. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a gentle neutral is wanted without a gray or cool cast. Pair this color with natural oak, warm white trim, linen upholstery, terracotta accents, or deeper camel and clay tones.

LRV of Porcelain Skin
Porcelain Skin has an LRV of 70.38% 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 70.38%, 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.
