What color is Behr Black Mocha?
Behr Black Mocha PPU24-01 is a deep, muted charcoal with a noticeable brown cast that keeps it from reading as a flat black. Its low-saturation finish gives walls and built-ins a grounded, softened look, especially alongside warm white trim or creamy plaster. In bright daylight, Black Mocha can appear more like a dark gray-brown, while lower light brings out its near-black depth. It is particularly effective on cabinetry, interior doors, fireplace surrounds, or a dining room accent wall. Pair it with natural oak, aged brass, cognac leather, and warm stone for a layered, material-focused interior.

LRV of Black Mocha
Black Mocha has an LRV of 6.85% 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 6.85%, 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.
