What color is Behr Smooth Silk?
Behr Smooth Silk YL-W07 is a light, creamy off-white with a clear yellow-beige cast drawn from its soft #f6ead2 color value. It reads warm without becoming strongly golden, giving walls a gentle sunlit look in daylight. In north-facing or lower-light rooms, this shade can appear a little more muted and beige, while warm afternoon light brings out its buttery side. Smooth Silk suits bedrooms, living rooms, and dining areas where a bright white might feel too stark. Pair it with natural oak, linen upholstery, terracotta accents, or deeper olive and warm brown details for a grounded palette.

LRV of Smooth Silk
Smooth Silk has an LRV of 82.93% 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 82.93%, 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.
