What color is Behr Misty Coast?

Behr Misty Coast PPU25-13 is a light, muted gray with a noticeable soft green cast. Its low-saturation color keeps walls from reading stark, while the pale value helps smaller rooms feel open and bright. In cooler daylight, Misty Coast may appear more silvery gray; warmer bulbs can bring out its subdued green undertone. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet living areas, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, linen upholstery, and brushed nickel. For more contrast, pair this shade with charcoal accents or deep olive textiles rather than bright, high-chroma colors.

LRV of Misty Coast

Misty Coast has an LRV of 68% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 68%, 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.
