What color is Behr Rushing Stream?
Behr Rushing Stream P480-4 is a clear, mid-light blue with a noticeable aqua cast, giving it a fresh blue-green appearance rather than a muted sky-blue look. Its relatively bright saturation makes it especially effective in bathrooms, laundry rooms, sunrooms, or a child’s room where a clean splash of color is welcome. In strong daylight, this shade can read crisper and more turquoise, while softer interior light may bring out its cooler blue side. Pair Rushing Stream with clean white trim, pale gray flooring, light oak, or natural woven textures to keep the color grounded. It also makes a lively choice for a front door, lower cabinets, or a single accent wall against otherwise neutral surroundings.

LRV of Rushing Stream
Rushing Stream has an LRV of 39.82% 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 39.82%, 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.
