What color is Behr Little Black Dress?
Behr Little Black Dress PPU24-23 is a deep charcoal gray with a subtle cool, blue-gray cast. Its low-saturation color keeps it from reading as a flat black, allowing a little softness and detail to remain visible on walls and built-ins. In bright daylight, this shade can show more of its smoky gray character, while evening light makes it appear darker and closer to black. Use it on cabinetry, an accent wall, or exterior trim alongside crisp white, pale gray, natural oak, brushed nickel, and matte black finishes.

LRV of Little Black Dress
Little Black Dress has an LRV of 6.71% 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 6.71%, 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.
