What color is Behr Maui Mist?
Behr Maui Mist BL-W10 is a very light blue-gray with a clean, airy cast and low saturation. Its pale value keeps rooms feeling open, while the faint coolness is more noticeable beside warm white trim or natural wood. In bright daylight, Maui Mist can read close to an icy off-white; lower or indirect light brings out more of its soft gray-blue character. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, and light-filled living areas, especially on full walls where a subtle wash of color is preferred over a stronger blue. Pair it with crisp white, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or muted navy for contrast.

What are Behr Maui Mist undertones?
Maui Mist is a near-white, near-neutral neutral off-white. Its chroma is so low that assigning a specific hue-based undertone would be misleading. Because it is close to neutral, nearby surfaces and the color of the light can noticeably change how warm or cool it appears.

LRV of Maui Mist
Maui Mist has an LRV of 87.95% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 87.95%, 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.
