What color is Behr Shark Fin?
Behr Shark Fin PPU24-19 is a medium-light gray with a closely balanced, low-saturation appearance and a faint green-gray cast. Its restrained color makes it read mostly neutral on broad walls, while daylight may bring out its subtly cooler, mineral quality. Use it in a living room, hallway, or bedroom where a clear gray is wanted without a sharp blue undertone. Shark Fin pairs well with crisp white trim, charcoal details, pale oak, black metal, and soft linen textiles. It can also give kitchen cabinetry or an exterior accent a grounded, understated gray finish.

LRV of Shark Fin
Shark Fin has an LRV of 30.89% 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 30.89%, 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.
