What color is Behr Blush Rush?
Behr Blush Rush P160-2 is a light, softened pink with a gentle rosy warmth and a slightly muted finish. Its pale value keeps it from reading overly sweet, making it well suited to bedroom walls, a nursery, or a powder room with plenty of natural light. In warm artificial lighting, Blush Rush may appear creamier and warmer, while cooler daylight brings out its clean pink cast. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, linen upholstery, and brushed brass for a relaxed, layered look. For contrast, try charcoal accents or deep olive green in textiles and artwork.

LRV of Blush Rush
Blush Rush has an LRV of 60.14% 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 60.14%, 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.
