What color is Behr Cayman Bay?
Behr Cayman Bay PPU14-03 is a muted medium blue with a noticeable gray cast and a slight blue-green lean. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading overly bright, making it well suited to larger wall areas in bedrooms, bathrooms, or home offices. In cool daylight, Cayman Bay can appear cleaner and bluer, while warmer bulbs tend to bring forward its gray-green undertone. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, weathered wood, and soft sand or warm beige textiles for contrast. It also makes a grounded choice for painted cabinetry or a front door against light neutral siding.

LRV of Cayman Bay
Cayman Bay has an LRV of 16.24% 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 16.24%, 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.
