What color is Behr Rain Dance?
Behr Rain Dance S480-1 is a light, cool blue with a softened gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or icy. Its pale depth makes it especially useful on bedroom, bathroom, or laundry room walls where a clean, airy color is wanted without stark white. In bright daylight, Rain Dance shows its blue character more clearly; lower or warmer light can bring out its muted, silvery side. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents for a restrained, contemporary look. It can also make a quiet exterior accent on shutters or a covered porch ceiling.

LRV of Rain Dance
Rain Dance 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.
