What color is Behr Silver Marlin?
Behr Silver Marlin N360-2 is a pale, muted gray with a subtle warm cast that keeps it from reading icy or blue. Its near-even balance of color creates a soft, low-saturation look, while the slightly reduced blue value gives it a faint beige-gray or putty-like edge. In bright daylight, Silver Marlin can appear clean and lightly silvery; under warm lamps, its gentle warmth becomes more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways where a light neutral is wanted without the starkness of pure white. Pair it with creamy whites, natural oak, linen upholstery, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Silver Marlin
Silver Marlin has an LRV of 57.1% 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 57.1%, 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.
