# Behr Calm

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/behr-calm](https://plan-home.com/color/behr-calm)

Behr Calm BL-W01 is a pale, lightly muted blue-green with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or icy. Its high lightness makes it especially effective on walls in bathrooms, bedrooms, and sunlit living areas where a gentle wash of color is wanted without strong contrast. In cooler daylight, Calm may lean a little more blue, while warm bulbs can bring forward its subtle green-gray side. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and linen fabrics for a clean, airy palette. It can also suit cabinetry or a covered exterior detail when paired with deeper slate blue, charcoal, or muted evergreen accents.
