What color is Behr Mirror Ball?
Behr Mirror Ball N550-1 is a very light gray with a soft lavender cast that keeps it from reading flat or stark. Its pale, muted appearance gives walls a clean, airy look while still showing enough color to distinguish it from plain white. In daylight, the subtle violet-gray undertone is more noticeable, while warmer artificial lighting can make the shade appear slightly softer and more neutral. Mirror Ball suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet living areas, especially alongside crisp white trim, light oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal details. Use it on broad walls for a gentle wash of color rather than as a high-contrast accent.

LRV of Mirror Ball
Mirror Ball has an LRV of 66.38% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 66.38%, 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.
