What color is Behr Bermudan Blue?
Behr Bermudan Blue PPU13-18 is a muted, medium-deep blue with a noticeable green cast that keeps it from reading as a standard navy. Its grayed quality gives the color a softened, weathered look rather than a bright coastal-blue effect. In strong daylight, Bermudan Blue can show more of its blue-green character, while lower or warmer light may make it appear deeper and slightly more slate-like. It has enough depth for a study, dining room, or bedroom wall, and it also makes a grounded choice for painted cabinetry or an exterior front door. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, brushed brass, charcoal, or sandy beige accents to bring out its balanced blue-green tone.

LRV of Bermudan Blue
Bermudan Blue has an LRV of 9.65% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 9.65%, 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.
