What color is Behr Ice Sculpture?
Behr Ice Sculpture BL-W02 is a very light blue-gray with a soft green cast that keeps it from reading stark or icy. Its pale, muted character gives walls a clean, lightly misted appearance, especially in rooms with ample daylight. In cooler light, the blue-gray side may come forward, while warm bulbs can make the green-gray undertone more noticeable. Ice Sculpture suits bathrooms, bedrooms, and airy living areas, where it can be paired with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents. It also makes a quiet backdrop for blue-green textiles and natural stone with cool gray veining.

LRV of Ice Sculpture
Ice Sculpture has an LRV of 77.79% 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 77.79%, 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.
