Behr

Silent White

PPU26-13

Silent White by Behr is a very light gray with subtle green undertones, placing it on the cooler side of the neutral spectrum. With an LRV of 90.3, it reflects most ambient light and works effectively as a whole-room color in spaces with limited natural light. The green cast is restrained enough to read as a clean near-white under most conditions, though it may shift greener in north-facing rooms.

It layers with Behr White Metal and Behr Frost in cool tonal schemes, while Behr Cracked Pepper provides dark contrast and Behr Eucalyptus Wreath draws out its green base.

Silent White in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

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.
