What color is Behr Sequoia Lake?
Behr Sequoia Lake PPU12-02 is a muted blue-green with a noticeable gray cast, giving it a grounded, medium-dark appearance. Its cool teal character is softened by the low saturation, so it reads more like weathered lake glass than a bright aquatic shade. In daylight, this color can show its blue-green side more clearly, while lower or warmer lighting brings forward its smoky gray depth. It suits powder rooms, bedrooms, and studies, and can also make a strong statement on kitchen cabinetry or a front door. Pair Sequoia Lake with soft warm whites, pale oak, aged brass, charcoal accents, or warm clay-toned textiles for contrast.

LRV of Sequoia Lake
Sequoia Lake has an LRV of 12.77% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 12.77%, 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.
