Behr
Legendary Gray
PPU26-03
Because the color sits in the middle, it can look heavier on north-facing walls. Warm wood softens it. Clean white casing defines this low-chroma gray without adding color. Sample beside upholstery, since a gray this subtle borrows from nearby fabrics.
Color Codes
Legendary Gray in Different Light
Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV
51.1LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
