What color is Behr Wind Chill?
Behr Wind Chill BL-W07 is a very light, muted gray-green with a soft, low-contrast appearance. Its faint green cast keeps it from reading as plain white or cool gray, while the pale value gives walls an airy, lightly washed look. In bright daylight, Wind Chill can appear close to an off-white with a subtle mineral tint; lower or warmer lighting may bring out more of its gentle grayness. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet living areas, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, linen, and brushed nickel. For contrast, pair this shade with charcoal accents, deep olive textiles, or black-framed fixtures.

LRV of Wind Chill
Wind Chill has an LRV of 80.16% 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 80.16%, 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.
