What color is Behr Greyhound?
Behr Greyhound PPU24-21 is a muted medium gray with a subtle warm, brown-taupe cast rather than a crisp blue-gray edge. Its low saturation gives it a softly weathered look that feels grounded on broad wall surfaces. In cooler daylight, Greyhound can read as a straightforward softened gray, while warm bulbs tend to bring out its faint earthy undertone. It suits living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms where a deeper neutral is wanted without making the room feel stark. Pair it with off-white trim, natural oak, charcoal accents, aged brass, or linen textiles in cream and sand.

What are Behr Greyhound undertones?
Greyhound is a midtone, near-neutral charcoal gray. Its chroma is so low that assigning a specific hue-based undertone would be misleading. Because it is close to neutral, nearby surfaces and the color of the light can noticeably change how warm or cool it appears.

LRV of Greyhound
Greyhound has an LRV of 20.55% 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 20.55%, 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.
