What color is Behr Peppery?
Behr Peppery MQ2-62 is a deep, muted charcoal-gray with a noticeable warm brown cast that keeps it from reading blue or stark. Its low saturation gives walls a soft, weathered look, especially in rooms with natural wood, aged brass, or black metal details. In bright daylight, Peppery can show more of its earthy taupe undertone, while lower light brings out its darker, grounded gray character. It makes a strong choice for a study, dining room, exterior trim, or lower cabinetry where a near-black would feel too severe. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm greige, clay-toned textiles, and medium oak for a cohesive palette.

LRV of Peppery
Peppery has an LRV of 9.88% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 9.88%, 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.
