What color is Behr Semi-Precious?
Behr Semi-Precious MQ6-06 is a muted blue-green with a softened, lightly gray cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. It sits in a medium depth range, showing more blue in cooler daylight and a gentler green-teal character under warm indoor bulbs. This shade brings measured color to a bathroom, laundry room, or bedroom without making the walls feel visually heavy. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents for a clean, grounded palette. Semi-Precious can also give lower cabinetry or a painted interior door a calm but noticeable contrast against light neutral walls.

LRV of Semi-Precious
Semi-Precious has an LRV of 25.76% 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 25.76%, 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.
