What color is Behr Pencil Sketch?
Behr Pencil Sketch N500-4 is a medium-light gray with a faint cool, blue-leaning cast that keeps it from reading flat or beige. Its muted saturation gives walls a clean, softly weathered appearance, especially beside crisp white trim. In bright daylight, Pencil Sketch can look a touch lighter and cooler, while lower or warmer artificial light brings out its balanced gray base. It suits bedrooms, home offices, and living rooms where a calm neutral backdrop is wanted without using a very pale gray. Pair it with charcoal accents, white oak, brushed nickel, black metal, or soft off-white textiles for a grounded finish.

LRV of Pencil Sketch
Pencil Sketch has an LRV of 33.37% 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 33.37%, 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.
