What color is Behr Gray Ashlar?
Behr Gray Ashlar N170-3 is a light, muted gray with a noticeable beige cast that keeps it from reading cold or stark. Its soft, low-saturation appearance can look gently greige in daylight, while warmer artificial light may bring out more of its sandy undertone. Gray Ashlar suits living room, bedroom, and hallway walls where a pale neutral is wanted without the brightness of off-white. Pair it with creamy trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, and charcoal or matte black details for contrast. It can also be a useful cabinet color in kitchens with warm white counters and brushed nickel hardware.

LRV of Gray Ashlar
Gray Ashlar has an LRV of 51.33% 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 51.33%, 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.
