What color is Behr Suede Gray?
Behr Suede Gray PPU18-17 is a muted medium-depth gray with a soft, slightly warm cast that keeps it from reading stark or icy. Its low-saturation finish gives walls a grounded, gently weathered look, especially in living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways. In bright daylight, it can appear like a softened gray-beige, while lower light brings out its deeper, earthier side. Pair Suede Gray with creamy off-whites, charcoal details, natural oak, aged brass, or black metal for contrast. It has enough depth for cabinetry or an exterior accent, though it can also create a cohesive all-over wall color in rooms with ample natural light.

LRV of Suede Gray
Suede Gray has an LRV of 21.85% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 21.85%, 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.
