What color is Behr Shy Smile?
Behr Shy Smile S130-2 is a light, muted pink with a soft rosy cast and a faint mauve-gray undertone. Its low saturation keeps it from reading sugary, making it a considered option for bedroom walls, a powder room, or a quiet sitting area. In warm daylight, Shy Smile can appear a little rosier, while cooler light brings forward its subdued, slightly dusky quality. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, linen upholstery, and brushed brass for a gently layered look. For more contrast, charcoal accents or deep wine-toned textiles give this shade added definition.

LRV of Shy Smile
Shy Smile has an LRV of 55.91% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 55.91%, 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.
