What color is Behr Flint Smoke?

Behr Flint Smoke 730F-4 is a light, muted gray with a noticeable blue-green cast that keeps it from reading flat or icy. Its softened saturation gives walls a gently weathered look, especially alongside clean white trim or pale oak. In daylight, Flint Smoke can appear cooler and slightly bluer, while warmer indoor lighting may bring forward its quiet green-gray side. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, and living areas where a low-contrast backdrop is wanted, and it also makes a restrained cabinet color. Pair it with warm whites, charcoal accents, brushed nickel, natural linen, and medium-toned wood for a grounded finish.

LRV of Flint Smoke

Flint Smoke has an LRV of 42.89% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident light. Why 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 42.89%, 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.
