What color is Behr Sunstone?
Behr Sunstone M430-4 is a muted blue-green with a noticeable gray cast, giving it a soft, weathered appearance rather than a bright aqua look. Its mid-light depth keeps it present on the wall while still feeling open enough for bedrooms, bathrooms, or a quiet home office. In daylight, Sunstone reads as a dusty sea-glass green; under warmer bulbs, its gray undertone becomes more apparent. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, woven linen, and brushed brass for contrast, or use charcoal and deep navy accents for a cooler, more tailored scheme. It is especially effective on broad walls or cabinetry where its low-saturation color can show clearly without dominating the room.

LRV of Sunstone
Sunstone has an LRV of 43.46% 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 43.46%, 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.
