What color is Behr Peaceful Blue?
Behr Peaceful Blue S470-3 is a light, muted blue with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or bright. Its cool blue-green lean is subtle, giving walls a softly weathered look rather than a crisp aqua effect. In north-facing rooms, Peaceful Blue may appear a little grayer and cooler, while warmer daylight can bring out more of its gentle blue character. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and laundry rooms, especially alongside clean white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or light gray stone. For contrast, pair this shade with deep charcoal, inky navy, or warm clay-toned accessories.

LRV of Peaceful Blue
Peaceful Blue has an LRV of 44% 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 44%, 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.
