What color is Behr White Moderne?

Behr White Moderne PPU24-14 is a pale off-white with a softly muted, warm-gray cast. Its #ebeae2 value keeps it light and low in saturation, so it reads cleaner than beige while avoiding the starkness of a bright pure white. Daylight may bring out its faint creamy warmth, while lower or cooler light can make it appear more like a gentle pale gray. Use it on living room walls, bedrooms, or trim when you want a quiet backdrop for natural oak, linen, warm stone, and brushed brass. White Moderne also pairs well with charcoal accents and deeper taupe furnishings for a restrained, layered look.

LRV of White Moderne

White Moderne has an LRV of 81.74% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 81.74%, 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.
