Behr

Beach Foam

S450-1

Beach Foam lands near pale blue-green white with a clean aquatic cast. The airiness comes first. Use it in bathrooms or ceilings where a little color should still read light.

The blue-green side becomes clearer beside creamy trim, so compare whites carefully. White tile and light oak keep the palette simple. Warm bulbs can soften the coolness at night.

Beach Foam in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
