What color is Behr Clear Pond?
Behr Clear Pond PPU13-15 is a light, muted blue-green with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly pastel. Its cool, low-saturation character can look a little bluer in north-facing rooms and slightly greener where warm daylight or incandescent lighting is present. On walls, it gives bathrooms, bedrooms, and laundry rooms a clean but gently softened backdrop. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, weathered wood, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for definition. Clear Pond also suits painted cabinetry or a covered exterior accent where a subtle wash of color is wanted without strong contrast.

LRV of Clear Pond
Clear Pond has an LRV of 55.6% 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 55.6%, 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.
