What color is Behr Opulent Opal?
Behr Opulent Opal PR-W04 is a very pale off-white with a soft blush-beige cast visible beneath its light, nearly neutral surface. Its high lightness keeps walls bright without reading as stark white, while the subtle warmth can make cooler north-facing rooms feel less gray. In direct daylight, Opulent Opal appears clean and lightly rosy; evening lamps may bring out its beige-pink undertone a little more. Use it across bedrooms, living rooms, or hallways where a quiet, low-contrast backdrop is wanted. It pairs especially well with pale oak, warm white trim, dusty rose textiles, and muted taupe or charcoal accents.

LRV of Opulent Opal
Opulent Opal has an LRV of 84.67% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 84.67%, 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.
