What color is Behr Seaside Villa?

Behr Seaside Villa S190-1 is a pale, warm blush-beige with a soft peach cast that keeps it from reading like a plain off-white. Its light value makes it especially useful for brightening bedrooms, bathrooms, and softly lit living spaces without the starkness of crisp white. In direct daylight, the pink-beige undertone becomes clearer, while evening light can make the color look a little warmer and creamier. Pair Seaside Villa with warm white trim, natural oak, woven linen, or light terracotta accents for a layered neutral scheme. It is well suited to full walls, but can also bring a gentle wash of color to a powder room or a quiet bedroom ceiling.

What are Behr Seaside Villa undertones?

Seaside Villa is a light, very muted muted beige. The HEX sample has a subtle orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 69.7%, 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.
