What color is Behr Orion Gray?
Behr Orion Gray N510-6 is a deep charcoal gray with a subtle cool cast, reflected in its slightly blue-leaning balance. It has enough depth to create definition on an accent wall, built-in cabinetry, or a front door without reading as pure black. In bright daylight, Orion Gray can appear cleaner and more neutral, while lower or cooler light brings out its steel-like character. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale concrete tones, black metal, and light oak for a grounded contemporary contrast. On larger walls, use ample natural light or lighter furnishings to keep the room from feeling overly shadowed.
LRV of Orion Gray
Orion Gray has an LRV of 9% 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 9%, 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.
