About Silver Drop
Behr Silver Drop (790C-2) LRV and undertone
Behr Silver Drop (790C-2) has an LRV of 70 and belongs to the light greige color family. LRV measures how much visible light a paint surface reflects. At 70, this color can keep a room relatively bright while providing more depth than a white with a high LRV. Its calculated undertone is warm yellow, which contributes warmth to its gray-beige character. Silver Drop therefore sits between lighter whites and deeper neutrals in terms of reflectance. Lighting can shift how its undertone reads: cool northern daylight may reduce the visible warmth, while southern daylight can make it more apparent. Compare a painted sample with nearby white trim and flooring to judge the contrast.

Lighter and darker Behr alternatives
Behr Campfire Ash (N320-1) has an LRV of 69, one point below Silver Drop, so it provides a slightly darker option. Behr Dove (HDC-MD-21), at LRV 66, offers a more noticeable reduction in reflectance while remaining in a similar depth range. These choices can suit rooms where walls need more definition beside light trim. For a deeper appearance, Behr Aged Beige (PPU7-09) has an LRV of 63, while Behr Toasty Gray (N320-2) has an LRV of 61. Their lower LRVs make them useful candidates when a stronger contrast or less reflective wall color is wanted. Test each in the actual room because lighting and sheen influence the final appearance.
