What color is Behr Overcast?
Behr Overcast PPU26-21 is a medium-depth gray with a subtle cool blue cast, reflected in its slightly higher blue and green values. It reads as a clean, softened charcoal-gray rather than a stark silver or deep slate. In bright natural light, Overcast can appear lighter and airier, while lower or warmer lighting may bring out its muted blue-gray character. Use it on living room walls, a home office, or exterior siding when you want noticeable color without going too dark. Crisp white trim, pale oak, black metal, and weathered concrete all give this shade a grounded, contemporary setting.

LRV of Overcast
Overcast has an LRV of 25.19% 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 25.19%, 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.
