What color is Behr Mysterious Night?
Behr Mysterious Night S550-6 is a mid-to-deep blue-gray with a cool, slate-like cast. Its restrained saturation keeps it from reading as a bright navy, giving walls a grounded, shadowed look instead. In daylight, the gray element is more apparent, while warmer evening lighting can make the blue feel deeper and slightly smokier. Use it in a study, dining room, or bedroom for an enveloping wall color, or on cabinetry where its depth can anchor lighter surroundings. Crisp white trim, pale gray stone, brushed nickel, natural oak, and soft off-white textiles give this color clear, useful contrast.

LRV of Mysterious Night
Mysterious Night has an LRV of 12.03% 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 12.03%, 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.
