What color is Behr Winterscape?
Behr Winterscape M480-2A is a pale, cool blue with a noticeable aqua cast that keeps it from reading like a standard baby blue. Its light value gives walls an airy appearance, while the soft saturation prevents the color from feeling icy or overly sweet. In bright daylight, Winterscape can show more of its clean blue-green side; under warmer indoor bulbs, it may look quieter and slightly grayer. It suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, sunrooms, or bedrooms where a light wash of color is wanted without strong contrast. Pair it with crisp white trim, weathered oak, pale gray stone, or muted navy accents for definition.
LRV of Winterscape
Winterscape has an LRV of 72.42% and refers to Off‑White 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 72.42%, 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.
