What color is Behr Polished Stone?
Behr Polished Stone PPU17-16 is a muted medium gray with a gentle warm cast and a faint rosy-beige undertone. Its low saturation keeps it grounded and soft rather than sharply cool or silvery. In bright daylight, the gray reads more clearly, while lower or warmer lighting can bring out its subtle taupe-pink warmth. Use it on living room or bedroom walls for a quiet, substantial backdrop, or on cabinetry where a dark charcoal would feel too heavy. It pairs well with creamy whites, weathered wood, brushed nickel, and deep brown or charcoal accents.
LRV of Polished Stone
Polished Stone has an LRV of 26.19% 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 26.19%, 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.
