What color is Behr Siberian Ice?

Behr Siberian Ice MQ3-57 is a light blue-gray with a soft, cool cast and low saturation. Its pale value keeps walls looking open and airy, while the blue undertone gives it more definition than a standard light gray. In north-facing rooms, Siberian Ice may read a little crisper and bluer; warmer afternoon light can bring out its gentle gray side. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet living areas, especially alongside clean white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents. Use this shade across walls for a subtle wash of color or on cabinetry when a cool, understated contrast is wanted.

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 67.53%, 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.
