What color is Behr Blue Aura?
Behr Blue Aura PPU16-17 is a muted blue-gray with a medium depth that keeps it from reading too pale or overly navy. Its gray cast gives the color a softened, slightly smoky appearance, especially on broad wall surfaces. In brighter light, Blue Aura can show a clearer dusty blue presence, while lower light brings its slate-like side forward. It suits bedrooms, home offices, and bathrooms where a grounded cool color is wanted without a sharp or icy finish. Pair it with soft white trim, charcoal details, pale oak, brushed nickel, or warm beige textiles to give the room contrast and texture.

LRV of Blue Aura
Blue Aura has an LRV of 17.33% 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 17.33%, 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.
