What color is Behr Glass Sapphire?
Behr Glass Sapphire PPU14-02 is a medium, muted blue with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its cool blue character can look a little softer and smokier in low light, while daylight brings out its clearer blue presence. Use it on bedroom or bath walls for measured color, or on cabinetry and a front door where its depth can stand against light trim. Creamy whites, pale gray, weathered oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents give this shade a grounded, clean-looking setting.

LRV of Glass Sapphire
Glass Sapphire has an LRV of 17.69% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 17.69%, 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.
