What color is Behr Seed Pearl?
Behr Seed Pearl M210-1 is a very light off-white with a clear warm cast, reading closer to softened ivory than a crisp white. Its #faefe4 value suggests a gentle peach-beige undertone that keeps the color from looking stark on walls. In bright daylight, it can appear creamy and luminous, while evening lighting is likely to draw out its warmer, slightly blush-toned character. Use it in bedrooms, living rooms, or hallways where a pale wall color should feel softer than pure white. Seed Pearl pairs naturally with light oak, warm white trim, sandy linen, terracotta accents, and muted olive or dusty blue details.

What are Behr Seed Pearl undertones?
Seed Pearl 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 Seed Pearl
Seed Pearl has an LRV of 88.05% 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 88.05%, 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.
