What color is Behr Misty Morn?
Behr Misty Morn PPU12-10 is a light, muted gray-green with a gentle cool cast and very low saturation. Its soft blue-green influence keeps it from reading like a plain neutral, while the pale value gives walls an open, airy appearance. In bright daylight, Misty Morn can look cleaner and slightly cooler; under warmer bulbs, its gray base becomes more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet living areas, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and linen upholstery. For contrast, pair this shade with charcoal, deep blue-green, or natural black accents rather than overly bright colors.

LRV of Misty Morn
Misty Morn has an LRV of 54.83% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 54.83%, 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.
