What color is Behr Tower Bridge?
Behr Tower Bridge S440-4 is a muted blue-green with an even dose of gray, giving it the look of weathered sea glass rather than a bright aqua. Its medium depth keeps the color present on a wall without making a room feel dark, while the softened saturation prevents it from reading overly coastal or playful. In daylight, Tower Bridge shows its cool teal character most clearly; under warm bulbs, the gray cast becomes more noticeable. It is especially well suited to bathrooms, bedrooms, and laundry rooms, as well as painted cabinetry where a calm but visible color is wanted. Pair it with soft white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or creamy stone finishes for contrast.

LRV of Tower Bridge
Tower Bridge has an LRV of 30.21% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 30.21%, 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.
