What color is Behr Aqua Wish?
Behr Aqua Wish P430-2 is a light aqua with a clear mint-green cast, giving it a fresh, airy appearance without reading icy. Its high lightness keeps the color gentle on broad walls, while the noticeable blue-green pigment prevents it from fading into a neutral. In bright daylight, Aqua Wish can look cleaner and more aquatic; under warmer indoor bulbs, its green side may become more apparent. It suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, sunrooms, and children’s spaces where a pale color with visible personality is welcome. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibers, or soft coral and peach accents for contrast.

LRV of Aqua Wish
Aqua Wish has an LRV of 60.9% 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 60.9%, 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.
