What color is Behr Snowfall White?
Behr Snowfall White GR-W09 is a pale off-white with a soft creamy-beige cast rather than a stark, blue-white appearance. Its high lightness keeps rooms bright, while the muted warmth helps it sit comfortably beside natural oak, linen upholstery, and warm stone finishes. In direct daylight, Snowfall White can read close to white; under lower or warmer artificial light, its gentle ivory undertone becomes more noticeable. Use it on living room or bedroom walls when a clean backdrop is wanted without the sharp contrast of a pure white. It also suits trim or cabinetry paired with warm gray, clay, olive, or deep charcoal accents.

What are Behr Snowfall White undertones?
Snowfall White is a near-white, very muted cream. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow. 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 Snowfall White
Snowfall White has an LRV of 83.71% 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 83.71%, 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.
