What color is Behr Sea Of Tranquility?
Behr Sea Of Tranquility P470-3 is a light, clear aqua blue with a distinctly cool cast and enough color to stay noticeable on a full wall. Its blue-green character reads fresh rather than icy, especially alongside crisp white trim or pale gray finishes. In bright daylight, this shade can appear cleaner and more blue; lower or warmer lighting may bring forward its softer turquoise side. It suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, sunrooms, and children’s spaces, where its airy brightness can keep the room from feeling heavy. Pair Sea Of Tranquility with natural oak, white tile, woven grass textures, or muted navy accents for contrast.

LRV of Sea Of Tranquility
Sea Of Tranquility has an LRV of 49.18% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 49.18%, 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.
