What color is Behr Mystical Mist?
Behr Mystical Mist PR-W01 is a very light gray with a soft, barely-there rosy cast that keeps it from reading cold or stark. Its low saturation gives walls a gentle, powdery appearance, especially in rooms with broad natural light. In north-facing spaces, this shade may look like a pale neutral gray, while warmer afternoon light can bring out its subtle blush warmth. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and open living areas where a near-white is wanted without the brightness of pure white. Pair Mystical Mist with warm white trim, light oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or muted mauve and taupe textiles.

LRV of Mystical Mist
Mystical Mist has an LRV of 76.73% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 76.73%, 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.
