What color is Behr Ocean Boulevard?
Behr Ocean Boulevard PPU13-10 is a light, muted blue-green with an even, softly grayed cast. Its near-equal blue and green presence gives it a clean aqua direction, while the restrained saturation keeps it from reading bright or tropical. In daylight, it can appear airy and gently cool; under warmer lamps, its gray undertone becomes more noticeable. This shade suits bathroom walls, a light-filled bedroom, or painted cabinetry paired with soft white, weathered oak, pale stone, and brushed nickel. For contrast, use deeper charcoal blue or a dark green-gray in nearby accents.

LRV of Ocean Boulevard
Ocean Boulevard has an LRV of 51.03% 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 51.03%, 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.
