What color is Behr Very Navy?
Behr Very Navy M500-7 is a deep, muted blue with a noticeable charcoal-gray cast that keeps it from reading as bright or overly inky. Its cool, low-saturation character can look slightly softer in daylight, while evening light tends to draw out its shadowy navy depth. Use it on a study wall, dining room, exterior shutters, or lower cabinetry where a dark color can add definition without appearing black. Very Navy pairs well with crisp white trim, pale gray-blue walls, natural oak, brushed nickel, and warm brass accents. Against creamy off-whites or tan upholstery, this shade creates a clear, grounded contrast.

LRV of Very Navy
Very Navy has an LRV of 6.54% 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 6.54%, 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.
