What color is Behr Blueprint?
Behr Blueprint S470-5 is a muted medium blue with a noticeable gray cast and a slight blue-green edge. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading overly bright, giving walls a grounded, weathered-blue appearance. In daylight, Blueprint can show more of its cool blue character, while lower or warmer artificial light tends to bring out its smoky gray side. It suits home offices, bedrooms, and bathrooms, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents. Use it on full walls for a measured color statement, or on cabinetry and built-ins where its depth can anchor a lighter room.

LRV of Blueprint
Blueprint has an LRV of 19.16% 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 19.16%, 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.
