What color is Behr Naturalist Gray?
Behr Naturalist Gray N380-5 is a muted medium gray with a subtle green-olive cast visible beneath its softened surface. Its low-saturation character keeps it from reading icy or blue, giving walls a grounded, gently weathered appearance. In cooler daylight, the green undertone may come forward slightly, while warm bulbs can make the shade appear more earthy and gray-beige. Naturalist Gray suits living rooms, bedrooms, and home offices where a deeper neutral is wanted without the starkness of charcoal. Pair it with warm white trim, light oak, linen upholstery, matte black hardware, or clay-toned accents for a layered, natural-looking palette.

LRV of Naturalist Gray
Naturalist Gray has an LRV of 25.87% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 25.87%, 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.
