What color is Behr Eiffel For You?

In bright daylight, Eiffel For You can appear lightly pink-beige, while evening lighting tends to bring forward its deeper mushroom and gray-brown notes. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, aged brass, natural oak, or linen upholstery for a grounded palette. This shade is especially effective on full walls or cabinetry when paired with clean white trim.

LRV of Eiffel For You

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 40.48%, 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.
