What Color Is Reflecting Pool, Really?
Reflecting Pool reads as a cool blue-green tone — very light — near-white, broadens small spaces. The notes below cover how Behr 720E-1 behaves in different light and the closest matches at competing US brands.
Best Rooms and Uses for Reflecting Pool
Reflecting Pool shines on ceilings, trim and in small or low-light rooms where you need to stretch the light — and as a calm whole-home backdrop. As a white, it's a natural for trim, ceilings and cabinets, and a clean backdrop for art.
How Lighting Changes Reflecting Pool
Reflecting Pool is very light — LRV 81, close to white. It opens up small or dim rooms and keeps walls feeling airy. Its teal undertone is the part to watch: it gets picked up by whatever sits next to it, so test it against your trim, floor and the room's main light before committing. In north light it can read slightly cooler; a warm white trim alongside keeps it from going clinical.
Most complaints about Reflecting Pool are a light mismatch. Upload a photo of your actual room and see it on your walls — then ask for the same wall in north light or evening lamps before you buy a single sample.
