What color is Behr Mediterranean Charm?
Behr Mediterranean Charm P510-2 is a light, clear blue with a noticeable airy cast and a faint aqua-leaning edge. Its high lightness keeps it from feeling heavy, making it a strong option for bedroom walls, bathrooms, or a bright laundry room. In daylight, this shade reads crisp and open; under warmer bulbs, it can soften toward a gentler powder blue. Pair Mediterranean Charm with clean white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or sandy beige textiles to keep the room grounded. It is best used across full walls or on exterior siding where its fresh blue character has room to show.

LRV of Mediterranean Charm
Mediterranean Charm has an LRV of 55.5% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 55.5%, 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.
