What color is Behr Intellectual?
Behr Intellectual PPU18-19 is a deep, muted gray with a subtle brown cast that keeps it from reading icy or blue. Its low saturation gives walls a grounded, softened look, especially in living rooms, studies, or bedrooms with natural wood furniture. In bright daylight, Intellectual can appear like a balanced charcoal-gray, while lower light brings forward its warmer, earthy undertone. Pair it with creamy off-whites, black metal details, walnut, or aged brass for a layered, tailored interior. It also has enough depth for cabinetry or an exterior accent such as a front door or shutters.

LRV of Intellectual
Intellectual has an LRV of 11.09% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 11.09%, 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.
