What color is Behr Ozone?
Behr Ozone PPU13-14 is a light, muted blue-gray with a subtle blue-green cast that keeps it from reading flat or icy. Its low saturation gives walls a soft, weathered look, while the cool undertone becomes clearer in north-facing rooms or under crisp daylight. In warmer artificial light, Ozone can appear more gray, making it a useful choice for bedrooms, bathrooms, or quiet living areas. Pair it with clean white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents for a restrained, layered palette. It is especially effective across full walls or on cabinetry where its gentle color variation can be appreciated.

LRV of Ozone
Ozone has an LRV of 49.92% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 49.92%, 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.
