Behr

Sleek White

OR-W15

Sleek White by Behr is a near-pure white with a faint warm undertone that gives it a very slight creamy cast without crossing into yellow or beige. Its LRV of 96.4 is among the highest available, meaning it reflects nearly all incident light and is well-suited for ceilings, trim, and cabinetry. Despite its high brightness, the subtle warmth prevents it from appearing cold under artificial lighting.

It coordinates with Behr Swiss Coffee for a slightly deeper warm white, Behr Pale Mushroom as a greige step-down, Behr Blueprint for a muted navy accent, and Behr Olive Grove for earth-toned contrast.

Sleek 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.
