Behr

Lunar Surface

N460-3

Behr Lunar Surface is a soft, balanced gray with faint green undertones and a cool temperature. Its LRV of 72.2 allows it to reflect a substantial portion of light, making it a practical option for main walls in living spaces, hallways, and bedrooms. The slight green cast distinguishes it from pure cool grays and adds a subtle organic quality under natural light.

It coordinates effectively with Behr Silver Drop and Frost for a tonal cool palette, Blue Metal for deeper contrast, Swiss Coffee for a warm counterpoint, and Nature's Gift as an analogous green-gray.

Lunar Surface 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 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.
