What color is Behr Silver Bullet?

Behr Silver Bullet N520-2 is a light, low-saturation gray with a nearly neutral cast and the faintest soft warmth from its slightly muted blue content. It reads clean and understated on broad walls, without looking stark or icy. In bright daylight, Silver Bullet can appear pale and airy, while lower light may bring out its gentle gray depth. Use it in bedrooms, living rooms, or hallways where a quiet neutral backdrop is needed. It pairs naturally with white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, and fabrics in oatmeal or muted blue-gray.

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 55.64%, 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.
