What color is Behr Adirondack Blue?
Behr Adirondack Blue N480-5 is a muted blue-gray with a cool, softened cast rather than a bright coastal-blue look. Its medium depth gives walls noticeable color while the gray influence keeps the finish restrained and easy on the eye. In daylight, Adirondack Blue can read as a dusty slate blue; under warmer lamps, its gray side becomes more pronounced. It suits bedrooms, home offices, and bathrooms, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents. Use it across full walls for a calm, grounded backdrop, or on cabinetry and built-ins where a quiet contrast is needed.

LRV of Adirondack Blue
Adirondack Blue has an LRV of 22.15% and refers to Medium 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 22.15%, 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.
