What color is Behr Tranquil Pond?
Behr Tranquil Pond PPU15-07 is a muted medium blue-gray with a cool, slate-like cast and low-saturation finish. Its softened color keeps it from reading overly blue, giving walls a grounded look rather than a bright coastal effect. In daylight, Tranquil Pond shows more of its dusty blue character, while warm evening lighting can pull it closer to a calm charcoal-gray. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and home offices, particularly with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or black metal details. Use this shade across full walls for a quiet backdrop, or on cabinetry and built-ins when a deeper neutral is needed.

LRV of Tranquil Pond
Tranquil Pond has an LRV of 21.93% 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 21.93%, 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.
