What color is Behr Absolute Zero?
Behr Absolute Zero N490-1 is a pale blue-gray with a cool, lightly misted appearance. Its soft gray base keeps the blue from reading overly sweet, while the low saturation gives it a quiet, airy look on broad walls. In bright daylight, this shade can appear cleaner and slightly bluer; under warmer lamps, its gray character becomes more noticeable. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, and laundry rooms where a light color is wanted without the starkness of plain white. Pair Absolute Zero with crisp white trim, charcoal accents, pale oak, brushed nickel, or matte black hardware.

LRV of Absolute Zero
Absolute Zero has an LRV of 63.54% 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 63.54%, 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.
