What color is Behr Deep River?
Behr Deep River P500-6 is a clear, saturated blue with a cool, lightly teal-leaning cast. Its medium-deep value gives it enough presence for an accent wall, built-in cabinetry, or a front door without reading as nearly black. In bright daylight, this color shows its crisp blue character more clearly; lower light can make it appear deeper and more dramatic. Pair it with clean white trim, pale gray, light oak, or brushed nickel for a fresh contrast. Deep River also holds up well beside sandy beige and natural woven textures, which soften its strong color without muting it.
LRV of Deep River
Deep River has an LRV of 10.76% 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 10.76%, 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.
