What color is Behr Heirloom Silver?
Behr Heirloom Silver PPU25-08 is a light, muted gray with a noticeable soft green-beige cast that keeps it from reading icy or blue. Its low-saturation character gives walls a quiet, powdery look, especially alongside crisp white trim. In bright daylight, the color can appear like a pale silvery gray, while lower or warmer lighting tends to reveal more of its subdued khaki undertone. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways where a gentle neutral is wanted without the starkness of a cool gray. Pair Heirloom Silver with warm white, charcoal, natural oak, aged brass, or linen fabrics for a grounded, layered finish.

LRV of Heirloom Silver
Heirloom Silver has an LRV of 46.07% 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 46.07%, 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.
