What color is Behr Meteorological?
Behr Meteorological N430-6 is a muted blue-green with a gray cast that keeps it grounded rather than overly colorful. Its medium-dark depth gives walls noticeable definition, while the softened saturation prevents it from feeling heavy. In daylight, Meteorological can read as a reserved green-gray; under warmer lamps, its blue-green character becomes quieter and more charcoal-like. It suits a study, dining room, powder room, or exterior trim where a deeper neutral is wanted without using plain gray. Pair it with soft off-whites, weathered oak, black hardware, warm brass, or pale stone for contrast.

LRV of Meteorological
Meteorological has an LRV of 13.6% 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 13.6%, 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.
