What color is Behr Galactic Tint?
Behr Galactic Tint N510-2 is a light, softly muted gray with a subtle cool cast. Its #c0c4c6 value places it in a gentle mid-light range, giving walls noticeable color without making a room feel dark. In bright daylight, Galactic Tint can read as a clean pale gray, while lower or cooler light may bring out its faint blue-gray character. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and home offices where crisp white trim or pale wood flooring can keep the palette fresh. Pair it with charcoal details, brushed nickel, soft black hardware, or blue-toned textiles for a cohesive look.

LRV of Galactic Tint
Galactic Tint has an LRV of 54.55% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 54.55%, 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.
