What color is Behr Ombre Blue?
Behr Ombre Blue S510-3 is a light, muted blue with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly bright or pastel. Its cool character is softened by the subdued saturation, giving walls a calm, lightly weathered look. In daylight, the blue is clearer, while lower or warmer indoor light can bring its gray side forward. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and home offices, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents. Ombre Blue also makes a restrained choice for cabinetry or an exterior shutter color when paired with off-white siding or warm natural stone.

LRV of Ombre Blue
Ombre Blue has an LRV of 39.71% 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 39.71%, 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.
