What color is Behr Night Flight?
Behr Night Flight S520-7 is a deep, muted blue-gray with a distinctly cool cast. Its low brightness gives walls a grounded, shadowy presence, while the gray in the color keeps the blue from reading overly vivid. In daylight, it can appear like a softened slate blue; under warm lamps, it may shift closer to charcoal with a blue undertone. Use Night Flight on a study, dining room, bedroom accent wall, or painted cabinetry where a darker finish feels appropriate. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale gray-blue textiles, light oak, matte black hardware, or brushed nickel for clear contrast.

LRV of Night Flight
Night Flight has an LRV of 7.52% 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 7.52%, 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.
