What color is Behr Inked?

Behr Inked M510-7 is a deep, muted blue with a clear gray cast that keeps it from reading overly bright or traditional navy. Its cool blue character is most apparent in daylight, while lower or warmer lighting can bring out its softened, slate-like depth. Use it on a study wall, built-in bookcases, or kitchen cabinetry when you want definition without the starkness of black. Inked pairs well with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, and natural linen fabrics, which add welcome contrast to its shadowy blue tone. On an exterior, it can give shutters or a front door a grounded, substantial presence against light siding or stone.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 7.61%, 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.
