What color is Behr Angelic Blue?
Behr Angelic Blue M540-2 is a light, muted blue with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or bright. Its cool character is clearest in daylight, while warmer bulbs can bring out its soft, powdery side. The pale value makes it well suited to bedrooms, bathrooms, and airy living spaces where a gentle wash of color is wanted without darkening the room. Angelic Blue pairs neatly with crisp white trim, soft charcoal accents, pale oak, and brushed nickel finishes. On larger walls, this shade has enough gray to sit comfortably beside both clean-lined modern furnishings and more traditional painted woodwork.

LRV of Angelic Blue
Angelic Blue has an LRV of 68.21% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 68.21%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
