What color is Behr Cloudy Sky?
Behr Cloudy Sky S470-1 is a light, muted blue-gray with a gently cool cast and enough gray to keep it from reading overly pastel. Its soft saturation makes it well suited to broad wall areas in bedrooms, bathrooms, or a light-filled home office. In cooler daylight, Cloudy Sky can appear a little more silvery and blue, while warm bulbs tend to bring out its quieter gray side. Pair it with clean off-whites, pale oak, brushed nickel, and deeper charcoal accents for a crisp, grounded room. It can also be used on cabinetry or an exterior detail when a subtle blue presence is preferred over a brighter coastal shade.

LRV of Cloudy Sky
Cloudy Sky has an LRV of 62.89% 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 62.89%, 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.
