Behr

Bleached Linen

PPU5-09

Bleached Linen by Behr is a warm white with subtle beige undertones and a Light Reflectance Value of 92.8, placing it among the brightest options in the Behr lineup. The warm cast prevents it from reading as clinical or stark under natural light. It functions well as a whole-room wall color, ceiling finish, or trim shade in spaces where high reflectivity is needed without coolness.

Bleached Linen coordinates with Behr Sandstone Cliff for a tonal warm scheme, Wheat Bread for added depth, Swiss Coffee as a near-match alternative, and Sagey or Blue Willow for soft contrast.
