What color is Behr Black?
Behr Black BLACK is a deeply shaded charcoal-black with a near-neutral cast rather than an inky blue or brown appearance. At #3f3f3e, it reads as softened black in most settings, retaining a small amount of gray that keeps broad surfaces from looking completely void-like. Bright daylight can bring out its charcoal quality, while dim rooms and evening lighting make it appear closer to true black. Use it for cabinetry, interior doors, fireplace surrounds, or a focused accent wall where a strong dark anchor is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, brushed brass, concrete, or light gray stone for clear contrast.

LRV of Black
Black has an LRV of 5.58% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 5.58%, 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.
