What color is Behr Drip?
Behr Drip S460-2 is a light, softened blue with a noticeable blue-green cast and a gently muted finish. Its pale value keeps it airy on large walls, while the grayish softness prevents it from reading like a bright pastel. In daylight, Drip can appear cleaner and more blue; under warmer bulbs, its cool blue-green character becomes quieter and slightly grayer. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, or a breezy kitchen ceiling, especially alongside crisp white trim. Pair it with weathered oak, pale stone, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or deep navy for contrast.

LRV of Drip
Drip has an LRV of 53.78% 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 53.78%, 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.
