What color is Behr Poppy Seed?
Behr Poppy Seed PPU15-20 is a deep charcoal gray with a restrained blue cast that keeps it from reading flat or purely black. Its low-saturation character gives walls a grounded, architectural look, especially in offices, dining rooms, or bedrooms with ample natural light. In brighter settings, the cool blue-gray note becomes more apparent, while lower light makes the shade appear closer to soft black. Use Poppy Seed on cabinetry, interior doors, or an exterior trim detail alongside warm white, pale greige, natural oak, and brushed brass. It also pairs well with concrete, black metal, and light stone for a clean, tailored contrast.

LRV of Poppy Seed
Poppy Seed has an LRV of 7.84% 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 7.84%, 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.
