What color is Behr Come Sail Away?
Behr Come Sail Away MQ4-26 is a medium blue with a clear, slightly softened character that keeps it from reading overly bold on large walls. Its cool blue base can look cleaner and brighter in daylight, while evening light tends to bring out a quieter, more muted appearance. Use it in a bathroom, bedroom, laundry room, or home office where a noticeable wall color is welcome without making the room feel dark. Come Sail Away pairs well with crisp white trim, pale gray, light oak, woven natural textures, and brushed nickel finishes. It also makes a strong choice for a painted front door, shutters, or built-in cabinetry when paired with neutral surrounding surfaces.

LRV of Come Sail Away
Come Sail Away has an LRV of 24.68% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 24.68%, 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.
