What color is Behr Schooner?
Behr Schooner MQ6-07 is a muted blue-green with a noticeable gray cast, giving it a softened, mid-tone appearance rather than a bright coastal aqua. Its cool lean is clear, though the subdued saturation keeps it from feeling icy on large walls. In daylight, the blue-green character reads cleanly, while lower or warmer artificial light can draw out more of its gray-green restraint. Schooner suits bathrooms, bedrooms, and home offices where a calm but visible wall color is wanted, and it can also add quiet color to cabinetry. Pair it with crisp white trim, weathered oak, pale stone, charcoal accents, or warm brass for contrast.

LRV of Schooner
Schooner has an LRV of 32.49% 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 32.49%, 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.
