What color is Behr Sheer Scarf?
Behr Sheer Scarf PPU2-05 is a pale, muted beige with a gentle warm cast and a soft blush-cream undertone. Its light value keeps walls airy, while the slightly pinked beige base prevents it from reading flat or stark. In bright daylight, Sheer Scarf can appear creamy and lightly sun-warmed; lower or cooler light may bring out its subtle gray-beige side. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways where a quiet neutral backdrop is wanted without the sharpness of pure white. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, clay pottery, or deeper taupe and brown accents for a grounded palette.

What are Behr Sheer Scarf undertones?
Sheer Scarf is a light, very muted sandy beige. 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 Sheer Scarf
Sheer Scarf has an LRV of 68.92% 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 68.92%, 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.
