What color is Behr Limo-Scene?
Behr Limo-Scene N560-7 is a deep charcoal gray with a subtly cool, violet-leaning cast visible in the #4b4950 color value. Its near-black depth gives walls a grounded, enclosed look, while the muted purple-gray undertone keeps it from reading as a flat black. In bright daylight, Limo-Scene can appear like a softened dark graphite; under warm lamps, its gray character becomes more prominent. Use it for a dramatic study, media room, exterior trim, or cabinetry paired with pale oak, brushed nickel, crisp white, and soft greige. On a larger wall, good lighting and lighter surrounding finishes help preserve its quiet undertone and definition.

LRV of Limo-Scene
Limo-Scene has an LRV of 7.29% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 7.29%, 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.
