What color is Behr Greek Isles?
Behr Greek Isles P510-1 is a light, clear blue with a cool cast and a gently softened, powdery appearance. Its pale value keeps it from feeling heavy on full walls, making it especially effective in bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry rooms, or a bright home office. In cool daylight, Greek Isles can read crisper and slightly icier, while warm artificial light brings out a milder, more relaxed blue. Pair it with clean white trim, light oak, pale gray stone, or brushed nickel for a fresh, uncluttered look. It also makes a pleasing choice for painted furniture or beadboard when a subtle wash of color is wanted.

LRV of Greek Isles

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 66.01%, 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.
