What color is Behr Undersea?
Behr Undersea S470-7 is a deep, muted blue-gray with a distinctly cool cast and a softened, low-saturation finish. Its charcoal-like depth keeps it from reading as a bright blue, while the blue undertone becomes clearer in daylight and under cooler LED bulbs. On walls, Undersea gives studies, dining rooms, and bedrooms a grounded, shadowy backdrop without appearing flat. It also makes a strong choice for cabinetry or an exterior front door, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale gray stone, or brushed nickel hardware. Warm oak, cognac leather, and linen fabrics can add useful contrast to this color’s cool depth.

LRV of Undersea
Undersea has an LRV of 9.24% 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 9.24%, 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.
