About Frost
Frost (57) is a crisp, clean white from Behr with almost no visible undertone. With an LRV of 87, Frost reflects most of the light that hits it, which helps small or dim rooms feel larger.
Because its undertone is so subtle, Frost stays fairly consistent between north- and south-facing rooms. It's a good fit for trim and doors, ceilings, kitchens and whole-house walls. It's very close to Nano White (HDC-MD-06); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
How Frost changes with the light
Frost is a cool, crisp white: lovely in bright south or west light, but in north-facing rooms it can look gray. For north rooms, a warmer white is the safer choice.
North-facing rooms
Frost is a cool white that can look gray or flat in north light; a warmer white holds up better.
East-facing rooms
Frost will look warmer and brighter in the morning and cooler and grayer by afternoon; check a sample at both times.
South-facing rooms
Frost will look bright and clean in south light, one of the best places for a crisp white.
West-facing rooms
Frost looks cool in the morning and warms up in the golden late-afternoon light.
