# Behr Overcast

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/behr-overcast](https://plan-home.com/color/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.
