What color is Behr Night Club?
Behr Night Club N500-7 is a deep charcoal gray with a faint cool, blue-slate cast. Its low saturation keeps it close to neutral, so it reads more like a softened black than a distinctly colorful gray. In bright daylight, the subtle coolness is easier to notice, while lower light makes it appear darker and more graphite-like. Use it on a study wall, built-in shelving, kitchen cabinetry, or an exterior door where a strong dark finish is wanted without a pure-black look. Night Club pairs well with crisp white trim, pale gray stone, brushed nickel, black hardware, and light oak for contrast.

What are Behr Night Club undertones?
Night Club is a deep, near-neutral charcoal gray. Its chroma is so low that assigning a specific hue-based undertone would be misleading. Because it is close to neutral, nearby surfaces and the color of the light can noticeably change how warm or cool it appears.

Complementary color scheme
This color scheme is a combination of two shades that are opposite each other on the color wheel. The high contrast between these colors creates a vibrant and dynamic visual effect. For the color Night Club with a blue hue, complementary colors are those with a orange hue close to 36, such as Behr Oak Creek and Chicago Fog.
LRV of Night Club
Night Club has an LRV of 7.35% 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 7.35%, 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.
