What color is Behr Mystic Fairy?
Behr Mystic Fairy PPU16-07 is a very light, muted blush-gray with a faint mauve cast. Its low saturation keeps the pink undertone subtle, so it reads more like a softened neutral than a distinctly rosy wall color. In bright daylight, Mystic Fairy can appear pale and powdery, while warmer evening lighting may bring out its gentle pink notes. It suits bedrooms, dressing areas, and softly layered living rooms, especially alongside creamy whites, pale oak, linen upholstery, and brushed brass. For a cooler contrast, pair this shade with charcoal-gray accents or dusty blue textiles.

What are Behr Mystic Fairy undertones?
Mystic Fairy is a light, very muted pale rose-beige. The HEX sample has a subtle pink-red bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear pink-red. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Mystic Fairy
Mystic Fairy has an LRV of 68.15% 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 68.15%, 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.
