What color is Behr Burnished Pewter?

Behr Burnished Pewter PPU24-04 is a muted medium-depth gray with a noticeable warm, brown-taupe cast. Its low saturation keeps it grounded rather than icy, making it read as a softened charcoal-gray in bright daylight and a deeper, earthier neutral after dark. Use it on living room or bedroom walls where white trim, cream upholstery, and natural oak can keep the palette clear and balanced. Burnished Pewter also suits painted cabinetry or a dining room accent wall alongside matte black hardware and aged brass details.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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).
