What color is Behr Hush?
Behr Hush PPU26-16 is a light, muted gray with a subtle cool cast that keeps it from reading flat or stark. Its low-saturation blue-green lean is most noticeable in clean daylight, where the color can appear softly silvery; warmer bulbs tend to make it feel more neutral. Hush is well suited to whole-room walls in bedrooms, bathrooms, or open living areas where a quiet backdrop is wanted without the brightness of white. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or dusty blue textiles. On cabinetry, this shade can give a simple, understated look when balanced by warmer flooring or hardware.

LRV of Hush
Hush has an LRV of 53.11% 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 53.11%, 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.
