What color is Behr Rosewater?
Behr Rosewater S170-2 is a light, muted blush with a beige cast that keeps the pink from reading overly sweet. Its warm, softly dusty appearance can look a little rosier in afternoon sun and more subdued under cooler daylight. Rosewater is well suited to bedroom walls, a powder room, or a softly colored ceiling where a stronger pink might feel too pronounced. Pair it with creamy white trim, pale oak, linen upholstery, and brushed brass for a warm, natural palette. For more contrast, charcoal accents or deep olive textiles give this shade a grounded edge.
LRV of Rosewater
Rosewater has an LRV of 61% 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 61%, 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.
