What color is Behr Lap Pool Blue?
Behr Lap Pool Blue PPU12-06 is a light, muted blue-green with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its pale value gives walls an airy appearance, while the green undertone becomes a little more noticeable beside crisp white trim or cool stone. In daylight, this shade can feel clean and breezy; under warmer artificial lighting, its gray-green side may come forward. Use it in bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, or on painted cabinetry where a low-key wash of color is wanted. Pair Lap Pool Blue with warm white, weathered oak, brushed nickel, pale limestone, or charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Lap Pool Blue
Lap Pool Blue has an LRV of 43.53% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 43.53%, 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.
