What color is Behr English Channel?
Behr English Channel PPU14-19 is a medium-dark blue-gray with a muted, slate-like cast. Its cool blue character is softened by enough gray to keep it from reading overly bright or nautical. In daylight, English Channel can show a clearer dusty blue presence, while lower or warmer light tends to bring out its deeper charcoal-blue side. It has enough depth for a study, bedroom, or dining room wall, especially with crisp white trim or pale gray-beige upholstery. On cabinetry, this shade pairs well with brushed nickel, matte black hardware, light oak, and veined white stone.

LRV of English Channel
English Channel has an LRV of 11.22% 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 11.22%, 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.
