What color is Behr Pink Sea Salt?
Behr Pink Sea Salt M190-1 is a very light blush with a creamy peach-beige cast, drawn from its soft #f6dacb color value. It reads warm without becoming sugary, making it a gentle alternative to off-white in bedrooms, nurseries, or powder rooms. In bright daylight, Pink Sea Salt looks airy and petal-like; at night, its beige undertone becomes more noticeable and grounded. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, linen upholstery, or brushed brass for a cohesive look. It is especially effective on full walls where a faint wash of color is wanted without strong contrast.

LRV of Pink Sea Salt
Pink Sea Salt has an LRV of 74.93% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 74.93%, 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.
