Behr

Wheat Bread

720C-3

Wheat Bread is a neutral greige that balances warm and cool undertones with a slight lean toward warmth. At an LRV of 77.2, it reflects meaningful light while carrying enough depth to read as a distinct color on the wall. Its beige-gray character applies well across open-concept living areas, dining rooms, and transitional-style interiors.

It does not shift dramatically under different lighting conditions. It layers well with Behr Swiss Coffee and Behr Cotton Knit for lighter tonal pairings, and grounds against deeper accents like Behr Very Navy or Behr Toasty Gray.
