What color is Behr Celtic Queen?
Behr Celtic Queen P430-6A is a saturated blue-green with a clear teal cast and a medium-deep value. Its cool undertone keeps it crisp rather than earthy, though warm daylight can bring out a slightly greener appearance. Use it on a powder room wall, built-in bookcase, or kitchen island when the room needs a concentrated hit of color. Celtic Queen pairs well with clean white trim, pale oak, brushed brass, and soft sandy neutrals that let its richness stand forward. In lower light, this shade can read deeper and more blue-leaning, giving it enough weight for an exterior door or a defined accent wall.

LRV of Celtic Queen
Celtic Queen has an LRV of 10.9% 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 10.9%, 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.
