What color is Behr Brampton Gray?
Behr Brampton Gray PPU11-16 is a light-to-mid-tone gray with a subtle green cast that keeps it from reading flat or icy. Its muted, low-saturation finish suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a quiet neutral is wanted without the beige pull of a greige. In brighter daylight, Brampton Gray can appear softly green-gray, while lower or cooler light brings out its more straightforward gray side. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, and matte black hardware for a grounded, edited look. It is especially effective on full walls or cabinetry when paired with stone, tile, or textiles that include soft olive, charcoal, or creamy off-white notes.

LRV of Brampton Gray
Brampton Gray has an LRV of 34.99% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 34.99%, 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.
