What color is Behr Chimney?

Behr Chimney PPU25-22 is a deep, low-saturation blue-gray with a charcoal-like weight. Its cool cast is subtle rather than vividly blue, giving walls a grounded slate appearance in brighter daylight and a darker charcoal read in dimmer rooms. Use Chimney on cabinetry, a study wall, or exterior trim when you want definition without the starkness of black. It pairs well with warm white paint, pale oak, brushed nickel, and softened tan or clay accents that offset its coolness.

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).

Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 8.34%, 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.
