What color is Behr Silent Breeze?
Behr Silent Breeze P470-1 is a very light blue-green with a cool, airy cast and soft pastel saturation. Its #c6eaec color value reads as a pale aqua that can look a touch bluer in cooler daylight and slightly cleaner, almost mint-leaning, under warm indoor bulbs. It has enough color to keep white trim from feeling stark while still leaving a room bright and open. Use it on bedroom, bathroom, or laundry-room walls with crisp white, pale gray, or light oak finishes. Brushed nickel, white tile, and natural linen help reinforce its clean, watery appearance.

LRV of Silent Breeze
Silent Breeze has an LRV of 74.03% 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 74.03%, 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.
