What color is Behr Antique Tin?
Behr Antique Tin PPU18-03 is a medium-dark gray with a restrained cool cast, reading slightly blue-gray rather than flat charcoal. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded and architectural, making it a strong option for a study, dining room, or a dramatic bedroom wall. In bright daylight, Antique Tin can appear cleaner and a touch lighter, while evening lighting brings out its deeper, smoky character. Pair it with soft white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or black metal for a crisp, modern contrast. It also has enough depth for exterior shutters, a front door, or built-in cabinetry.

LRV of Antique Tin
Antique Tin has an LRV of 16.46% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 16.46%, 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.
