What color is Behr Atlantic Shoreline?

Behr Atlantic Shoreline PPU13-4 is a muted blue-gray with a cool, lightly weathered appearance. Its soft blue cast is tempered by gray, keeping the color grounded rather than bright or coastal-themed. On broad walls, Atlantic Shoreline can give bedrooms, bathrooms, and home offices a calm, low-contrast backdrop, while on cabinetry it reads as a restrained alternative to navy. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for a clean, modern look. In brighter light, its blue notes may appear clearer; lower light tends to emphasize the gray.

LRV of Atlantic Shoreline

Atlantic Shoreline has an LRV of 20.62% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 20.62%, 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.
