What color is Behr Cracked Pepper?
Behr Cracked Pepper PPU18-01 is a deep charcoal gray with a nearly neutral cast and a subtle cool blue-gray edge. Its low-light value gives walls a grounded, enveloping look, while direct daylight can reveal the slight variation between its gray and blue components. Use it for a dramatic dining room, study, exterior trim, or built-in cabinetry where a strong dark finish is wanted without reading as pure black. Cracked Pepper pairs cleanly with warm white paint, pale oak, brushed brass, and soft putty-toned textiles. In smaller rooms, it is especially effective on a single wall, doors, or lower cabinetry rather than every surface.

LRV of Cracked Pepper
Cracked Pepper has an LRV of 8.41% 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 8.41%, 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.
