What color is Behr Shea?

Behr Shea RD-W09 is a very light off-white with a gentle warm cast that keeps it from reading stark or icy. Its subtle beige-pink undertone is most noticeable beside crisp white trim, while the high lightness helps small rooms feel open. In bright daylight, Shea appears soft and clean; under warm bulbs, it takes on a creamier, slightly blush-tinted look. Use it on living room, bedroom, or hallway walls with natural oak, pale limestone, linen upholstery, and muted clay or olive accents. For a quiet tonal scheme, pair this shade with warm white trim and medium taupe or soft brown furnishings.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 89.22%, 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.
