What color is Behr Asphalt Gray?
Behr Asphalt Gray N520-6 is a medium-dark gray with a restrained, nearly neutral appearance. Its #5e5e5d value reads as a close charcoal-gray rather than a black, giving walls noticeable depth without making every surface feel stark. In bright daylight, this shade can look clean and even; lower light tends to emphasize its deeper, more grounded side. Use it on an accent wall, built-in cabinetry, or an exterior trim detail when you want contrast that is softer than true black. Pair Asphalt Gray with warm white, pale oak, concrete, brushed nickel, or black metal for a crisp, material-focused palette.

LRV of Asphalt Gray
Asphalt Gray has an LRV of 11.34% 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 11.34%, 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.
