What color is Behr Dark Ash?
Behr Dark Ash 770F-5 is a medium-depth gray with a muted, low-saturation appearance. Its #6a6d6d color value reads as a near-neutral gray that can show a subtle cool cast, particularly in bright daylight or alongside warmer finishes. Use it on a living room wall, office, or exterior siding when you want noticeable color without the heaviness of charcoal. Dark Ash pairs well with crisp white trim, pale concrete tones, black metal details, and light natural wood. In dimmer rooms, it may appear deeper and more subdued, making it especially effective for an accent wall or painted cabinetry.

LRV of Dark Ash
Dark Ash has an LRV of 15.18% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 15.18%, 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.
