What color is Behr Off Broadway?
Behr Off Broadway MQ1-35 is a deep charcoal gray with a subtle warm cast, reading closer to softened black than a true neutral gray. Its low-light value gives walls a grounded, architectural look, while natural daylight can bring out the muted brown-gray quality in the color. Use it for a library, dining room, entryway, or a dramatic bedroom wall where darker finishes feel intentional rather than heavy. Off Broadway also suits cabinetry and interior doors, especially alongside pale oak, warm white trim, aged brass, and natural stone. For contrast, pair it with creamy whites and light greige textiles rather than stark, blue-leaning whites.

LRV of Off Broadway
Off Broadway has an LRV of 5.72% 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 5.72%, 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.
