What color is Behr Cosmic Cobalt?
Behr Cosmic Cobalt P500-7 is a deep, saturated blue with a clear cool cast and a subtle blue-green edge visible in its #156a9b color value. It has enough depth to hold its own on an accent wall, built-in shelving, or a painted front door without reading nearly black. In bright daylight, Cosmic Cobalt appears cleaner and more vivid, while lower light brings out its darker, inkier side. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale gray stone, light oak, or brushed nickel for a fresh contrast. It can also anchor a bathroom vanity or kitchen island when the surrounding finishes are kept light and simple.

LRV of Cosmic Cobalt
Cosmic Cobalt has an LRV of 9.57% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 9.57%, 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.
