What color is Behr Offshore Mist?
Behr Offshore Mist PPU13-16 is a light, muted blue-gray with a faint cool aqua cast visible in its #cad8d8 color value. Its low saturation keeps it soft and airy rather than overtly blue, making it especially effective on bedroom, bathroom, or laundry room walls. In bright daylight, the color can read cleaner and slightly icier, while lower or warmer lighting brings forward its gentle gray base. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents for a restrained, coastal-leaning palette without relying on strong color contrast. It is best used across larger wall areas where its subtle undertones have room to show.

LRV of Offshore Mist
Offshore Mist has an LRV of 65.59% 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 65.59%, 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.
