What color is Behr Clear Vista?
Behr Clear Vista PPU13-11 is a light, muted blue with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly icy or bright. Its soft blue-green lean can become clearer in daylight, while warmer indoor lighting may bring out its more subdued, silvery side. Use it on bedroom, bathroom, or living room walls where a low-contrast color is wanted without resorting to plain gray. Clear Vista pairs naturally with crisp white trim, pale oak, weathered wood, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents. It also makes a calm backdrop for navy textiles, soft sage details, or warm tan leather.

LRV of Clear Vista
Clear Vista has an LRV of 47.17% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 47.17%, 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.
