What color is Behr Tealish?
Behr Tealish S440-6 is a muted mid-depth teal with a noticeable gray cast, sitting between blue-green and soft charcoal. Its restrained saturation keeps it from reading bright, while the blue influence gives it a cooler, slightly weathered appearance. In daylight, Tealish can show its green-blue character more clearly; under warm lamps, it tends to look deeper and more subdued. It has enough weight for a dining room, study, or bedroom wall, and also makes a grounded choice for lower cabinetry or a painted built-in. Pair this color with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, and clay-toned textiles to bring out its quiet complexity.

LRV of Tealish
Tealish has an LRV of 13.84% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 13.84%, 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.
