What color is Behr Waterfall?
Behr Waterfall HDC-CT-16B is a pale, cool blue-gray with a soft wash of cyan that keeps it from reading flat. Its light value gives walls an airy look, while the restrained saturation makes it feel quieter than a clear sky blue. In bright daylight, Waterfall can show more of its clean blue cast; in lower or warmer light, it settles into a gentle silvery gray-blue. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, and light-filled living spaces, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents. Use this color on broad walls or cabinetry when you want subtle color without a strong contrast.

LRV of Waterfall
Waterfall has an LRV of 70.39% 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 70.39%, 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.
