What color is Behr Teary Eyed?
Behr Teary Eyed P570-1 is a very light lavender with a powdery gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet. Its pale violet undertone is most noticeable in daylight, while warmer bulbs can bring out a softer, slightly rosy look. This shade suits bedrooms, nurseries, dressing areas, or a light-filled bathroom where a gentle wash of color is wanted without making the room feel dark. Pair it with creamy white trim, light oak, brushed nickel, or pale gray textiles for a clean, understated palette. Teary Eyed also makes a quiet accent on built-in shelving or a single ceiling when surrounding walls remain neutral.

LRV of Teary Eyed
Teary Eyed has an LRV of 68.61% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 68.61%, 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.
