What color is Behr Midnight In The Tropics?
Behr Midnight In The Tropics S480-7 is a deep, muted blue-gray with a noticeably cool cast and softened charcoal depth. Its restrained saturation keeps it from reading as a bright navy, giving walls a grounded, shadowy presence instead. In daylight, the blue-gray character is clearer, while lower or warmer artificial light can bring out its darker slate quality. Use this shade for a study, dining room, exterior trim, or built-in cabinetry when a strong color is wanted without a stark black effect. Crisp white, pale gray, weathered wood, brushed nickel, and warm tan leather provide useful contrast alongside Midnight In The Tropics.

LRV of Midnight In The Tropics
Midnight In The Tropics has an LRV of 9.04% 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 9.04%, 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.
