What color is Behr Whitewash Oak?
Behr Whitewash Oak PPU24-12 is a light, muted off-white with a soft gray-beige cast. Its low-saturation finish keeps it from reading stark, while the subtle warmth in the color value helps it sit comfortably beside natural wood and woven textures. In bright daylight, Whitewash Oak can look like a pale warm gray; under warmer lamps, its creamy beige side becomes more noticeable. It is well suited to whole-room walls, ceilings, or quiet cabinetry in bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways. Pair this shade with charcoal accents, aged bronze hardware, oatmeal textiles, and medium-toned oak for a grounded, layered interior.

LRV of Whitewash Oak
Whitewash Oak has an LRV of 57.86% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 57.86%, 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.
