What color is Behr Loyal?
Behr Loyal P530-1 is a very light, cool blue with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or icy. Its pale value gives walls an airy look, while the blue remains visible enough to add definition against white trim. In bright daylight, Loyal can appear cleaner and slightly crisper; under warmer evening bulbs, its gray-blue side becomes more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and light-filled living areas, especially alongside crisp white, charcoal, pale oak, brushed nickel, or matte black details. Use it across full walls for a quiet wash of color, or on cabinetry in a small bath where its lightness can help the room feel more open.

LRV of Loyal
Loyal has an LRV of 73.1% 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 73.1%, 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.
