What color is Behr Silver Drop?
Behr Silver Drop 790C-2 is a light, muted gray with a faint cool-blue cast that keeps it from reading flat or beige. In bright daylight, it can look clean and silvery, while north-facing rooms may pull out more of its blue-gray side. Warm lamps and evening sun soften it slightly, though it generally remains a cool-leaning neutral. It makes an easy main wall color for bedrooms, bathrooms, and open living areas where a pale backdrop is wanted without using plain white. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, brushed brass, or charcoal accents for a room that still has some contrast.

LRV of Silver Drop
Silver Drop has an LRV of 70% 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 70%, 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.
