What color is Behr Bella Vista?
Behr Bella Vista P470-6 is a clear, saturated blue-green with a distinctly cool turquoise cast. Its medium-dark depth gives it enough presence for a dining room wall, a powder room, or painted cabinetry, where the color can read crisp rather than pale. In bright daylight, Bella Vista shows more of its clean aqua-blue character; lower or warmer light can make the green side feel more pronounced. Pair it with bright white trim, pale oak, light concrete, or brushed nickel for a fresh, graphic contrast. For a softer scheme, use sandy beige or muted gray-green textiles to temper its bold color without competing with it.

LRV of Bella Vista
Bella Vista has an LRV of 13.15% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 13.15%, 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.
