Technical Profile

What color is Strawberry Freeze? It's a medium warm purple with the hex code #C65DF0. Strawberry Freeze is a distinctive shade in the Behr lineup, and while close cross-brand equivalents exist, its specific blend of warm tone and medium depth gives it a character worth comparing in person. Strawberry Freeze has a warm (pink) undertone, which affects how it pairs with trim, flooring, and adjacent wall colors.

Its warm (pink) undertone means trim and ceiling whites should lean neutral to avoid a jarring clash.
