What color is Behr Blueberry Whip?
Behr Blueberry Whip S550-1 is a pale blue-gray with a cool cast and soft, low-saturation character. Its light value keeps walls looking open and airy, while the subtle blue note prevents it from reading as a plain neutral gray. In bright daylight, Blueberry Whip can appear silvery and clean; under warmer lamps, it may shift toward a gentler, misty gray. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet living areas, especially alongside crisp white trim, light oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal details. Use this shade on all four walls for a calm backdrop, or pair it with deeper navy textiles and matte black hardware for more definition.

LRV of Blueberry Whip
Blueberry Whip has an LRV of 65.65% 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 65.65%, 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.
