What color is Behr Shadow Mountain?

Behr Shadow Mountain PPU24-22 is a deep, even charcoal gray with no obvious color cast, based on its neutral #585858 value. It reads as a grounded mid-to-dark gray that can give walls definition without appearing black. In bright daylight, this shade should show its clean gray character more clearly, while lower light will make it look deeper and more shadowed. Use it on an accent wall, interior doors, cabinetry, or a home exterior paired with crisp white trim. Natural oak, black metal, concrete, and pale stone provide especially fitting material companions.

LRV of Shadow Mountain

Shadow Mountain has an LRV of 9.97% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect light. Why 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 9.97%, 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.
