What color is Behr Skinny Jeans?
Behr Skinny Jeans S510-5 is a muted blue-gray with a noticeably cool cast and enough gray to keep it grounded rather than bright. Its medium depth gives walls clear color definition, reading a little bluer in daylight and more slate-like under warm evening lamps. Use it in a home office, bedroom, or bathroom where a quieter alternative to navy feels appropriate. Creamy white trim, pale oak, weathered brass, charcoal accents, and soft taupe textiles all complement this shade well. Skinny Jeans also has enough presence for lower cabinets, an interior door, or a covered exterior accent.

LRV of Skinny Jeans
Skinny Jeans has an LRV of 18.58% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 18.58%, 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.
