What color is Behr Urban Raincoat?
Behr Urban Raincoat N440-2 is a light, muted blue-gray with a soft green cast that keeps it from reading icy. Its low saturation gives walls a gently weathered, mineral-like appearance, especially in rooms with natural wood or stone. Daylight brings out its airy blue-green side, while warmer bulbs can make the gray component more noticeable. Use this shade in a bathroom, bedroom, or quiet home office, paired with creamy white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents. It also makes a calm cabinet color when balanced with warm white counters and matte black hardware.

LRV of Urban Raincoat
Urban Raincoat has an LRV of 56.86% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 56.86%, 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.
