What color is Behr Dark Storm Cloud?
Behr Dark Storm Cloud 740F-4 is a muted mid-tone blue-gray with a lightly weathered, mineral look. Its cool blue cast is softened by a faint green-gray note, keeping it from reading like a crisp or icy gray. In bright daylight, this shade can appear cleaner and slightly bluer, while lower or warmer light brings out its quieter gray side. It is well suited to bedroom, bathroom, or home-office walls, and can also give kitchen cabinetry a calm, grounded finish. Pair it with soft white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or warm linen textiles for contrast.
LRV of Dark Storm Cloud
Dark Storm Cloud has an LRV of 26.4% 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 26.4%, 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.
