What color is Behr Caribbean Current?
Behr Caribbean Current P460-7 is a deep, saturated teal with an even blue-green cast and a distinctly cool direction. Its strong pigment gives it enough visual weight for a dining room wall, a moody powder room, or painted built-in cabinetry. In bright daylight, the color reads cleaner and more blue-green, while lower light draws out its dark, inky depth. Pair Caribbean Current with crisp white trim, pale gray stone, light oak, or warm brass hardware to create contrast against its cool intensity. On an exterior door or shutters, this shade makes a clear architectural statement without looking overly bright.

LRV of Caribbean Current
Caribbean Current has an LRV of 7.77% 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 7.77%, 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.
