What color is Behr Pencil Point?
Behr Pencil Point PPU18-02 is a deep, muted gray with a subtle cool cast that keeps it from reading flat or brown. Its medium-dark depth gives walls definition without the near-black effect of a true charcoal. In daylight, Pencil Point can show a restrained blue-gray edge, while evening lighting brings out its quieter, more grounded gray character. Use it for a study, dining room, exterior trim, or lower cabinetry paired with soft white walls, pale oak, brushed nickel, and clean black details.

LRV of Pencil Point
Pencil Point has an LRV of 10.95% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 10.95%, 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.
