What color is Behr Shimmering Pool?
Behr Shimmering Pool P440-1 is a very light blue-green with a clean, airy cast and low saturation. Its pale aqua appearance can read a little cooler in north-facing rooms, while warm daylight brings out more of its soft green side. This shade is especially effective on bedroom, bathroom, or laundry room walls where a light color is wanted without moving into plain white. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, light maple, or brushed nickel for a fresh, uncluttered look. Dark charcoal or deep navy accents add useful contrast without overpowering its delicate depth.

LRV of Shimmering Pool
Shimmering Pool has an LRV of 78.51% 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 78.51%, 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.
