What color is Behr Smokestack?
Behr Smokestack N220-3 is a light, muted greige with a noticeable beige cast and soft gray restraint. Its low-saturation character keeps it from reading overly tan, while the warm undertone gives it more softness than a straight cool gray. In daylight, Smokestack can appear like a pale weathered taupe; under warm indoor bulbs, its beige notes tend to come forward. It is well suited to living-room, bedroom, or hallway walls where a quiet neutral is wanted without the starkness of off-white. Pair it with creamy white trim, medium oak, natural linen, charcoal accents, or aged brass for a grounded, layered palette.

LRV of Smokestack
Smokestack has an LRV of 45.75% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 45.75%, 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.
