Cottage White

13

Cottage White by Behr is a warm off-white with noticeable beige undertones that give it a creamy appearance. With an LRV of 91.7, it reflects a high amount of light while reading warmer than a standard white, making it suitable for walls, ceilings, and trim throughout a home. The beige undertone is visible beside a pure white and becomes more pronounced under warm lighting.

Behr Swiss Coffee and Behr Cotton Knit sit close in value for tonal layering, Behr Conifer Green and Behr Charcoal Blue offer mid-range wall contrast, and Behr Ultra Pure White defines crisp trim edges against it.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
