What color is Behr Secret Society?
Behr Secret Society MQ5-10 is a deep blue-gray with a cool, slate-like cast. Its muted saturation keeps it from reading as bright navy, while the charcoal depth gives walls a grounded, architectural look. In daylight, the blue-gray character is clearer; under warm evening bulbs, it can appear darker and closer to soft charcoal. Use this shade for a study, dining room, bedroom accent wall, or painted cabinetry where a stronger contrast is welcome. It pairs well with crisp off-whites, pale gray, natural oak, black metal, and brushed nickel finishes.

LRV of Secret Society
Secret Society has an LRV of 7.74% 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 7.74%, 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.
