Behr

Crisp Linen

MQ3-13

Crisp Linen from Behr is a warm off-white between beige and ivory, with a soft yellow-beige undertone. At an LRV of 88.3, it reflects a high proportion of light, making it functional for brightening dim rooms, hallways, and north-facing spaces. The warm cast is mild enough that it does not read overtly yellow on most surfaces.

Crisp Linen coordinates with Behr Pale Oak for tonal layering, Swiss Coffee as a near-match alternative, Laurel Tree for a muted green accent, Dolphin Fin for gray contrast, and Compass Blue for deeper complementary tone.
