What color is Behr Flipper?
Behr Flipper PPU25-15 is a muted light gray with a subtle green cast that keeps it from reading flat or sterile. Its low-saturation finish gives walls a soft, mineral-like appearance, sitting between pale sage and weathered concrete. In bright daylight, Flipper can show more of its quiet green-gray character, while evening light may make it appear closer to a neutral gray. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas where a restrained wall color is wanted, and it also has enough depth for cabinetry or a painted exterior trim detail. Pair this shade with warm white, charcoal, natural oak, brushed nickel, and linen-toned textiles for a grounded palette.

LRV of Flipper
Flipper has an LRV of 39.79% 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 39.79%, 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.
