What color is Behr Shiny Luster?
Behr Shiny Luster N500-1 is a very light gray with a faint green-gray cast that becomes more noticeable beside warm whites or beige finishes. Its high brightness keeps walls looking open and clean without reading as stark white. In daylight, this shade can appear softly silvery, while cooler artificial lighting may bring forward its subtle muted green undertone. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet living areas where a pale neutral is wanted with a little more character than plain gray. Pair Shiny Luster with crisp white trim, brushed nickel, pale oak, charcoal accents, or deep blue-gray textiles for a restrained, layered look.

LRV of Shiny Luster
Shiny Luster has an LRV of 71.58% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 71.58%, 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.
