What color is Behr Spring Stream?
Behr Spring Stream PPU12-07 is a light, muted blue-green with a gently grayed cast that keeps it from reading overly minty or bright. Its cool-leaning tone can look a little greener in daylight, while warmer lamps may bring out its soft, dusty quality. Use it on bedroom or bathroom walls for color without heavy contrast, or on cabinetry paired with pale oak and brushed nickel. Crisp white trim sharpens the color’s blue-green edge, while warm off-whites and sandy beige textiles make the overall palette feel more grounded.

LRV of Spring Stream
Spring Stream has an LRV of 44.18% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 44.18%, 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.
