What color is Behr Supernova?
Behr Supernova N510-4 is a light-to-medium gray with a noticeably cool, blue-leaning cast. Its muted color level keeps it from reading icy, giving walls a clean, lightly weathered appearance instead. In bright daylight, Supernova can look like a soft blue-gray, while warmer evening bulbs may bring out a calmer, more neutral gray side. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, home offices, and modern living areas, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal details. Use this shade on broad walls or cabinetry when you want contrast with warm woods without making the room feel overly dark.
LRV of Supernova
Supernova has an LRV of 36.75% 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 36.75%, 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.
