What color is Behr Blackout?
Behr Blackout N510-7 is a near-black charcoal with a subtle softened warmth, rather than a crisp blue-black cast. Its deep value gives walls a strong, grounded presence, while the slightly muted gray character keeps it from reading as flat black. In bright natural light, Blackout can reveal more of its charcoal surface; in low light, it settles into a dense, shadowy dark. Use it for a dramatic study, a dining room accent wall, exterior trim, or painted cabinetry paired with pale oak, warm white, brushed brass, and light stone.

What are Behr Blackout undertones?
Blackout is a deep, near-neutral near-black. Its chroma is so low that assigning a specific hue-based undertone would be misleading. Because it is close to neutral, nearby surfaces and the color of the light can noticeably change how warm or cool it appears.

RGB code:
65, 63, 62

How light temperature affects Blackout
Natural Lighting. During the day, natural light shifts from about 2000 K at sunrise/sunset to 5500–6500 K at noon.

Colors that go with Behr Blackout:
Monochromatic color scheme
This scheme consists of various shades, tints, and tones of a single color. While it offers a perfect combination of hues, without accent décor it may become monotonous.
Lighter shades
Complementary color scheme
This color scheme is a combination of two shades that are opposite each other on the color wheel. The high contrast between these colors creates a vibrant and dynamic visual effect. For the color Blackout with a red hue, complementary colors are those with a green hue close to 200, such as Behr Oceanic Climate and Nor'Wester.
LRV of Blackout
Blackout has an LRV of 5.66% 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 5.66%, 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.
