What color is Behr Titanium?

Behr Titanium PPU24-16 is a light, muted gray with a gentle warm cast that keeps it from reading stark or icy. Its low-saturation appearance gives walls a soft, powdery look, especially in rooms with plentiful natural light. In dimmer spaces, Titanium may appear a touch deeper and more beige-gray, making it well suited to bedrooms, hallways, and open living areas. Pair it with crisp off-white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or natural linen for a restrained, layered palette.

LRV of Titanium

Titanium has an LRV of 56.17% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 56.17%, 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.
