What color is Behr Shadows?
Behr Shadows PPU25-03 is a muted, medium-depth gray with a very subtle green-gray cast visible in certain light. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded and neutral-looking rather than overtly cool or colorful. On broad walls, Shadows can read as a soft charcoal-gray in dim rooms, while daylight may bring out its faint mossy undertone. It suits studies, living rooms, and bedrooms where a darker neutral is wanted without the sharpness of black. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, charcoal textiles, or matte black details for a restrained, layered look.

LRV of Shadows
Shadows has an LRV of 15.17% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 15.17%, 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.
