What color is Behr River Tour?
Behr River Tour PPU15-08 is a muted medium blue-gray with a softly cool, slate-like cast. Its restrained saturation keeps it from reading overly blue, giving walls a grounded, weathered look in daylight. In cooler north-facing rooms, this shade may lean more distinctly gray-blue, while warmer evening light can soften its steeliness. Use it on bedroom, bathroom, or office walls with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal textiles. River Tour can also give painted cabinetry or an exterior front door a calm, substantial presence without looking heavy.

LRV of River Tour
River Tour has an LRV of 25.8% and refers to Medium 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 25.8%, 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.
