What color is Behr Barnwood Gray?
Behr Barnwood Gray PPU24-07 is a medium gray with a subtle warm, earthy cast that keeps it from reading stark or blue. Its muted character makes it well suited to living room walls, hallways, and bedrooms where a grounded neutral is wanted. In bright daylight, the color can appear like a soft weathered gray, while lower or warmer light brings out its faint taupe-beige influence. Pair Barnwood Gray with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, black metal, and natural oak or walnut for a layered look. It also has enough depth for cabinetry or an exterior trim color when paired with a lighter main body color.

LRV of Barnwood Gray
Barnwood Gray has an LRV of 23.56% 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 23.56%, 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.
