What color is Behr Journey'S End?
Behr Journey'S End S520-2 is a light, muted blue-gray with a clear cool cast and soft, clouded appearance. Its low saturation keeps the blue from feeling bright, making it well suited to broad wall areas in bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet home offices. In daylight, Journey'S End reads cleaner and a little bluer; under warm evening bulbs, its gray side becomes more noticeable. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for a measured, airy contrast. It can also give kitchen cabinetry or an exterior porch ceiling a subtle wash of cool color without becoming dominant.

LRV of Journey'S End
Journey'S End has an LRV of 56.27% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 56.27%, 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.
