What color is Behr Hacienda Blue?
Behr Hacienda Blue P490-6 is a clear, saturated blue with a noticeable turquoise cast, landing between a classic medium blue and a vivid teal. Its cool character feels crisp on walls, especially in bathrooms, laundry rooms, or a sunlit home office. Bright daylight brings out its cleaner blue-green side, while lower or warmer light can make it appear deeper and slightly more blue. Use Hacienda Blue on an accent wall, painted cabinetry, or a front door when the room needs a strong hit of color. It pairs well with clean white trim, pale gray, light natural wood, brushed nickel, and warm brass for contrast.

LRV of Hacienda Blue
Hacienda Blue has an LRV of 12.48% 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 12.48%, 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.
