What color is Behr Etched Glass?
Behr Etched Glass MQ3-27 is a very light blue-gray with a soft, cool cast and low saturation. Its pale value keeps walls looking open and airy, while the faint blue-green influence adds more character than a plain off-white. In bright daylight, this color can read nearly silvery white; under cooler artificial light, its gray-blue side becomes more noticeable. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, and quiet workspaces, especially alongside crisp white trim, brushed nickel, pale oak, or charcoal accents. Use Etched Glass on full walls or cabinetry when a subtle wash of color is preferred over a stronger blue.

LRV of Etched Glass
Etched Glass has an LRV of 74.81% 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 74.81%, 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.
