What color is Behr Tsunami?
Behr Tsunami S450-7 is a deep blue-green with a cool, muted cast and enough depth to read almost charcoal in low light. Its teal character becomes clearer in daylight, where the blue and green notes feel balanced rather than bright. Use it on a study wall, dining room cabinetry, or a front door when the room needs a grounded, saturated accent. Crisp white trim sharpens the color’s depth, while pale oak, warm brass, and sandy beige textiles keep it from feeling too cool. On larger walls, give it adequate natural or layered artificial light so its blue-green tone remains visible.

Lighter shades
Complementary color scheme
This color scheme is a combination of two shades that are opposite each other on the color wheel. The high contrast between these colors creates a vibrant and dynamic visual effect. For the color Tsunami with a green hue, complementary colors are those with a red hue close to 6, such as Behr Autumn Ashes and Piano Brown.
LRV of Tsunami
Tsunami has an LRV of 9% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 9%, 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.
