What color is Behr Mirador?
Behr Mirador M420-3 is a light, softened blue-green with a gentle mint cast and low-to-medium saturation. Its pale value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the green-blue balance gives it more character than a standard off-white. In daylight, Mirador can read as a clean sea-glass hue; under warmer bulbs, its green side may become more noticeable. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, and painted cabinetry, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or sandy beige textiles. For contrast, pair this shade with deeper charcoal, muted navy, or dark botanical green accents.

LRV of Mirador
Mirador has an LRV of 63.46% 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 63.46%, 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.
