What color is Behr Cool Ashes?
Behr Cool Ashes N520-4 is a muted medium gray with an almost perfectly neutral cast. Its low-saturation appearance keeps it from looking icy or overly warm, giving walls a steady, grounded presence. In bright daylight, this color reads as a clean, straightforward gray, while lower light can make it appear a little deeper and softer. Use it on living room, bedroom, or hallway walls with crisp white trim, charcoal details, black metal, or natural wood finishes. It can also suit cabinetry or exterior siding when paired with lighter gray or off-white architectural elements.

LRV of Cool Ashes
Cool Ashes has an LRV of 28.88% 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 28.88%, 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.
