What color is Behr Coastal Vista?

Behr Coastal Vista PPU14-06 is a muted blue-gray with a cool cast and a gently weathered, mid-tone appearance. Its subdued saturation keeps the blue from feeling overly bright, while the gray base gives it a practical, grounded look on larger wall areas. In north-facing rooms, this shade can read a little cooler and steelier; warmer daylight and incandescent lighting bring out its softer gray side. Coastal Vista suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and home offices, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents. It also makes a measured choice for cabinetry when paired with light stone counters and warm brass hardware.

LRV of Coastal Vista

Coastal Vista has an LRV of 27.82% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 27.82%, 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.
