What color is Behr Chic Gray?
Behr Chic Gray PPU26-10 is a light, softened gray with a subtle beige cast visible in its muted, slightly warm color value. It sits in the pale mid-range rather than reading as stark white or deep gray, making it useful for larger wall areas where a gentle neutral is wanted. In bright daylight, Chic Gray can appear like a clean, lightly warmed gray; under warmer lamps, its creamy beige note may come forward more clearly. Pair it with off-white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, and charcoal or black metal details for contrast. This shade is especially well suited to living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and painted cabinetry where a low-saturation neutral will not compete with surrounding materials.

LRV of Chic Gray
Chic Gray has an LRV of 60% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 60%, 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.
