What color is Behr Paradise Sky?
Behr Paradise Sky P470-4 is a clear, mid-tone blue with a noticeable aqua cast that keeps it bright without reading sugary or overly pale. Its blue-green undertone is especially apparent in daylight, while warmer interior lighting can bring out a slightly softer teal quality. Use Paradise Sky on a bathroom, sunroom, or bedroom wall where its clean color can stand up to white trim and light oak flooring. It also makes a fresh accent for a painted door or built-in cabinetry paired with warm white walls, sandy beige textiles, and brushed brass hardware. For a crisper scheme, combine this shade with charcoal, navy, or matte black details.

LRV of Paradise Sky
Paradise Sky has an LRV of 40.54% 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 40.54%, 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.
