# Behr Infamous

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/behr-infamous](https://plan-home.com/color/behr-infamous)

Behr Infamous N540-5 is a medium blue-gray with a muted, slightly cool cast that keeps it from reading flat or overly steely. Its softened saturation makes it a practical wall color for bedrooms, home offices, and living rooms where a deeper neutral is wanted without the weight of charcoal. In bright daylight, Infamous can show more of its blue character, while lower or warmer light tends to bring forward its gray base. Pair it with crisp white trim for contrast, pale oak or walnut furniture for warmth, and matte black hardware for a clean, grounded finish. It also suits cabinetry or an exterior front door when paired with light gray, off-white, or natural stone surroundings.
