What color is Behr Limousine Leather?
Behr Limousine Leather MQ5-5 is a deep charcoal with a subtle neutral cast, reading nearly black without becoming flat or inky. Its #3b3c3b value gives it a faint gray softness that becomes more noticeable in bright daylight, while lower light makes the color feel darker and more enveloping. Use it on cabinetry, interior doors, or a single wall where a strong dark finish can ground lighter surroundings. Crisp white trim sharpens the contrast, while pale oak, brushed nickel, concrete, and warm off-white fabrics keep the look balanced. On an exterior, Limousine Leather can give shutters or a front door a clean, weighty definition against light siding or brick.

LRV of Limousine Leather
Limousine Leather has an LRV of 5.19% 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 5.19%, 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.
