What color is Behr Vanilla Paste?
Behr Vanilla Paste S290-1 is a very light cream with a clear warm beige cast, shown here as #f3e7d3. It reads softer and less stark than plain white, with a gentle yellow-peach warmth that can make a room feel brighter without turning icy. In strong daylight, Vanilla Paste appears airy and pale; under warm lamps, its creamy undertone becomes more noticeable. Use it on bedroom, living room, or hallway walls when crisp white trim would feel too sharp. Pair it with natural oak, woven linen, warm brass, terracotta accents, or muted olive for an earthy, layered interior.

LRV of Vanilla Paste
Vanilla Paste has an LRV of 80.88% 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 80.88%, 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.
