# Behr Zen

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/behr-zen](https://plan-home.com/color/behr-zen)

Behr Zen PPU11-14 is a soft, muted gray-green with a lightly cool cast and low-saturation color presence. Its pale midtone depth gives walls a gentle wash of color without reading stark or overly pastel. In daylight, the green-gray character is likely to feel clearer, while warmer indoor lighting can bring out its subdued, slightly earthy side. Use it in bedrooms, bathrooms, or quiet living areas alongside warm white trim, pale oak, linen upholstery, and brushed nickel or black hardware. Zen also makes a restrained choice for cabinetry when paired with simple stone counters and off-white walls.
