What color is Behr Planetary Silver?

Behr Planetary Silver N460-2 is a light, low-saturation gray with a faint green cast that keeps it from reading flat or stark. Its pale value gives walls an airy, softly shaded look, especially in rooms with generous daylight. In cooler light, the subtle green-gray note may be more noticeable, while warm bulbs can make the color appear gentler and closer to a neutral gray. Planetary Silver suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and open living areas where a quiet backdrop is needed without the brightness of white. Pair it with crisp white trim, weathered oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or muted olive textiles for a restrained, layered palette.

LRV of Planetary Silver

Planetary Silver has an LRV of 62% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident lightWhy LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 62%, 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.
