What color is Behr White Pepper?

Behr White Pepper PPU24-13 is a pale, low-saturation off-white with a soft gray cast and a slight warm beige-yellow undertone. Its muted character keeps it from reading like a crisp bright white, giving walls a gently softened appearance instead. In daylight, White Pepper can look lightly warm and chalky, while cooler artificial lighting may bring out more of its gray side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and open hallways where a quiet near-neutral is wanted without a stark contrast against trim. Pair it with natural oak, brushed nickel, weathered stone, charcoal accents, or deeper mushroom-toned textiles.

What are Behr White Pepper undertones?

White Pepper is a light, 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 White Pepper

White Pepper has an LRV of 77.16% 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 77.16%, 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.
