What color is Behr Swirling Water?

Behr Swirling Water PR-W10 is a light, softened blue with a gray cast that keeps it from looking sugary or overly coastal. It reads like water seen through a thin veil of cloud, with cooler blue notes becoming more noticeable in clear daylight and north-facing rooms. On larger walls, this shade can give bedrooms, bathrooms, and laundry rooms a clean, gently muted backdrop. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, brushed brass, and natural linen to keep the room from feeling too cool. In evening light, Swirling Water tends to settle into a quieter blue-gray that also suits painted cabinetry or a porch ceiling.

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 80.72%, 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.
