What color is Behr Melting Moment?
Behr Melting Moment S430-1 is a pale, muted green with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it soft rather than minty. Its light value gives walls an airy appearance, while the blue-green undertone reads a little cooler in north-facing rooms or under crisp LED lighting. In warmer afternoon light, the shade can look gentler and slightly more silvery. Use it in bedrooms, bathrooms, or a quiet home office with warm white trim, pale oak, and brushed nickel or matte black hardware. For contrast, pair Melting Moment with deeper charcoal, soft navy, or natural linen tones.

Warm light can make it look more olive and earthy, while cool daylight usually makes the green direction easier to notice.

LRV of Melting Moment
Melting Moment has an LRV of 70.73% 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 70.73%, 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.
