What color is Behr Rainy Afternoon?
Behr Rainy Afternoon N430-4 is a muted blue-green gray with a soft, weathered look rather than a bright or leafy green presence. Its medium depth keeps it noticeable on full walls, while the gray cast prevents the color from feeling overly saturated. In daylight, this shade can read as a cool, dusty green; under warmer lamps, its gray undertone becomes more pronounced. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, and built-in cabinetry, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents. Pair Rainy Afternoon with creamy neutrals or deep blue-gray details for a grounded, layered palette.

LRV of Rainy Afternoon
Rainy Afternoon has an LRV of 29.82% 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 29.82%, 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.
