What color is Behr Dew Pointe?
Behr Dew Pointe M450-1 is a very light blue-green with a cool, misty appearance and gentle mint undertones. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly colorful, so it can make a small bathroom, laundry room, or bedroom feel brighter without turning the walls into a focal point. In cooler daylight, Dew Pointe may show more of its soft aqua-blue side, while warm bulbs can bring out a slightly greener cast. Pair it with clean white trim, pale oak, light limestone, or brushed nickel for a crisp finish. This shade is especially effective on full walls or a painted ceiling where its pale color can open up the room.

LRV of Dew Pointe
Dew Pointe has an LRV of 78.94% and refers to Off‑White 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 78.94%, 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.
