What color is Behr Shoelace?
Behr Shoelace OR-W13 is a light, softly warm off-white with a faint beige cast that keeps it from reading stark. Its pale, low-saturation appearance brings gentle contrast to bright white trim while maintaining a clean overall look. In sunlit rooms, Shoelace can appear airy and creamy; under cooler artificial light, its subtle gray-beige side may be more noticeable. It suits living room and bedroom walls, as well as hallways where a pure white might feel too sharp. Pair this shade with natural oak, woven linen, warm brass, muted clay tones, or soft charcoal accents for a grounded interior palette.

What are Behr Shoelace undertones?
Shoelace 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 Shoelace
Shoelace has an LRV of 77.91% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 77.91%, 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.
