What color is Behr Jet Ski?
Behr Jet Ski M490-5 is a medium blue with a lightly muted, gray-leaning cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its cool blue tone has enough saturation to hold its own on a feature wall, painted door, or lower cabinetry without dominating a room. In daylight, Jet Ski appears clearer and slightly more blue, while lower or warmer indoor light can bring out its softened, subdued quality. Pair it with crisp white trim for contrast, pale oak for warmth, or charcoal and brushed nickel for a more streamlined look. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, home offices, and covered exterior details where a grounded blue is wanted.

LRV of Jet Ski
Jet Ski has an LRV of 22.79% and refers to Medium 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 22.79%, 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.
