What color is Behr Tailor'S Chalk?
Behr Tailor'S Chalk N170-1 is a very light, softly warm off-white with a faint beige cast rather than a stark white appearance. Its low saturation gives walls a powdered, gently muted look, especially in rooms with plenty of natural light. Under warmer bulbs, this shade can appear creamier; cooler daylight brings out its pale gray-beige side. Use it on main walls, ceilings, or cabinetry when you want a light backdrop that does not feel clinical. Tailor'S Chalk pairs naturally with light oak, linen upholstery, brushed brass, warm gray, and deeper mushroom-toned accents.
LRV of Tailor'S Chalk
Tailor'S Chalk has an LRV of 80.63% 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 80.63%, 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.
