What color is Behr Deep Breath?

Behr Deep Breath S460-7 is a deep blue with a softened gray cast that keeps it from reading like a sharp, inky navy. In bright daylight, it can show a slightly cooler blue character, while warm lamps bring out its muted, almost smoky depth. It has enough weight for a study, dining room, or bedroom wall, and it also makes a strong choice for lower cabinetry or a front door. Pair it with warm white trim, medium oak, walnut furniture, aged brass, and natural linen to keep the room from feeling overly dark. Pale stone and dusty terracotta accents give this shade a more grounded, lived-in contrast.

LRV of Deep Breath

Deep Breath has an LRV of 9% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect lightWhy LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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%, 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.
