What color is Behr Tibetan Turquoise?
Behr Tibetan Turquoise MQ4-53 is a clear, saturated blue-green with a distinctly cool cast and medium depth. Its vivid cyan-leaning tone reads crisp on a full wall, especially in bathrooms, laundry rooms, or sunlit kitchens where it can hold its color without looking heavy. In lower light, Tibetan Turquoise may appear deeper and bluer, while bright daylight brings forward its energetic turquoise character. Pair it with clean white trim, pale gray tile, light oak, or natural rattan to give the color room to stand out. It also makes a strong choice for a painted vanity, built-in shelving, or a front door against a simple neutral exterior.

LRV of Tibetan Turquoise
Tibetan Turquoise has an LRV of 11.97% 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 11.97%, 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.
