What color is Behr Park Avenue?
Behr Park Avenue MQ2-55 is a light, muted greige with a noticeable beige cast that keeps its gray base from feeling stark. Its low-saturation finish reads soft and slightly warm, especially beside bright white trim or cool stone. In daylight, Park Avenue can appear like a pale putty neutral, while warmer bulbs bring out more of its sandy taupe character. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and open-plan walls where a quiet neutral is needed without the crispness of a true gray. Pair it with creamy whites, charcoal accents, natural oak, linen upholstery, and brushed brass for a grounded, layered interior.

LRV of Park Avenue
Park Avenue has an LRV of 45.77% 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 45.77%, 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.
