What color is Behr Starless Night?
Behr Starless Night PPU14-20 is a deep blue-gray with a distinctly cool, charcoal-leaning base. Its muted saturation keeps it from reading as bright navy, giving walls a grounded, architectural look instead. In bright daylight, the blue cast is more apparent; under warm evening lighting, it can settle into a softer dark slate. Use it for a study, dining room, exterior trim, or a dramatic accent wall, and pair it with crisp white, pale gray, weathered oak, black metal, or brushed brass. On cabinetry, this shade brings clear contrast against light countertops and warm wood flooring.

LRV of Starless Night
Starless Night has an LRV of 6.65% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 6.65%, 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.
