What color is Behr Black Bamboo?
Behr Black Bamboo N380-7 is a deep, muted charcoal with a noticeable olive-gray cast. Its low saturation keeps the green influence subtle, giving the color an earthy, softened look rather than a sharp black appearance. In bright natural light, the gray-green undertone may become more apparent, while evening light can make this shade read closer to a near-black. Use it on cabinetry, interior doors, or an accent wall where its depth can anchor lighter finishes. Black Bamboo pairs well with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, stone, and linen-toned textiles.

What are Behr Black Bamboo undertones?
Black Bamboo is a deep, very muted muted olive. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-green bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-green. Warm light can make it look more olive and earthy, while cool daylight usually makes the green direction easier to notice.

LRV of Black Bamboo
Black Bamboo has an LRV of 10.71% 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 10.71%, 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.
