What color is Behr White Lie?
Behr White Lie MQ3-55 is a very light, low-saturation off-white with a faint warm cast visible in its slightly softened, creamy-gray appearance. Its near-neutral character keeps it from reading stark, while the subtle warmth helps it sit comfortably beside natural oak, linen, and light beige upholstery. In bright daylight, White Lie should appear clean and pale; lower or warmer artificial light can bring out its gentle warmth. It is a practical wall color for open living areas, bedrooms, and hallways where a crisp white might feel too sharp. Pair it with charcoal accents, muted sage, warm gray textiles, or matte black hardware for definition.

LRV of White Lie
White Lie has an LRV of 72.76% 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 72.76%, 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.
