What color is Behr Norwegian Blue?
Behr Norwegian Blue N470-5 is a muted medium blue-gray with a cool, slightly slate-like cast. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading overly bright, making it a practical choice for larger wall areas in a bedroom, office, or living room. In daylight, the gray component is likely to feel more noticeable, while warmer evening light can bring out the color’s subdued blue presence. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, charcoal accents, or brushed nickel for a clean, grounded palette. Norwegian Blue also has enough depth for kitchen cabinetry or a front door when paired with light surrounding surfaces.

LRV of Norwegian Blue
Norwegian Blue has an LRV of 23.22% 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 23.22%, 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.
