What color is Behr Sea Ice?
Behr Sea Ice P450-1 is a very light blue-green with a clean, airy cast and noticeably soft saturation. Its pale aqua undertone reads cool on broad walls, though the high lightness keeps it from feeling sharp or icy. In bright daylight, Sea Ice can look closer to a washed mint, while lower or warmer indoor light may draw out its gentle green-gray side. It suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, and small bedrooms where a light reflective color is useful, and it can also make kitchen cabinetry feel fresh without appearing overly colorful. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, light limestone, brushed nickel, or muted charcoal accents for definition.

What are Behr Sea Ice undertones?
Sea Ice is a near-white, very muted cool off-white. The HEX sample has a subtle teal bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear teal. Warm bulbs may gray the color down, while cool daylight usually makes its blue or teal direction clearer.

LRV of Sea Ice
Sea Ice has an LRV of 81.72% and refers to Off‑White 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 81.72%, 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.
