Navajo White

22

Behr Navajo White is a warm off-white with creamy beige undertones and a faint golden cast. Its LRV of 87.4 means it reflects a large amount of light, making it functional as a main wall color in both well-lit and dimmer spaces. Despite its name, it reads more as a light beige than a true white, and its warm lean becomes more pronounced under incandescent lighting.

It is often used in living areas, kitchens, and hallways. Compatible Behr colors include Swiss Coffee, Nano White for trim, Intellectual for contrast, Jojoba, and Morning Zen.

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.
