Behr S200-2Behr S200-2Light, but with enough orange to be a color rather than a white. In the Behr lineup this is S200-2.
Light reflectance measures 56.0, which is enough to keep a room bright without bouncing light around. At chroma 15.6 the orange is clear in daylight and softer under lamps.
Afternoon sun will push the orange further warm; if that reads as too much, a cooler bulb in the room can pull it back. Light enough for whole-room coverage while still reading as a real color choice rather than a white. If a second wall color is wanted in the same room, Behr Maui Mist keeps the jump obvious rather than muddy (roughly 348 LRV points from this one).
Switching brands, Benjamin Moore Milk Shake (1165) is the closest equivalent at delta-E 1.37, near enough for most rooms. Matte or low-sheen suits it on walls; higher gloss will exaggerate the undertone.
It is lighter than 63 percent of the Behr range. Behr lists it in the S codes, alongside 471 other colors.
