About Chic Gray
Behr Chic Gray (PPU26-10) LRV and undertone
Behr Chic Gray (PPU26-10) has an LRV of 60, placing it in the light range. Light reflectance value measures the percentage of visible light a surface reflects, from 0 for black to 100 for white. This value means Chic Gray can reflect a substantial amount of light while retaining more depth than a very pale neutral. Its greige color family combines gray and beige, and its calculated yellow undertone is subtly warm. The undertone may become easier to notice beside cooler whites or blue-based grays. Room orientation also matters: north-facing light often emphasizes cooler contrasts, whereas south-facing daylight can reinforce warmth. Existing floors, counters, and trim affect how the color reads, so compare a sample against those finishes before selecting a wall color.

Lighter and darker Behr alternatives
Behr Dolphin Fin (790C-3) has an LRV of 59 and a ΔE of 1.3. It is slightly darker by reflectance, making it useful when comparing a subtle reduction in brightness. Behr Tranquil Gray (DC-007) shares an LRV of 60 and has a ΔE of 1.9, so its measured difference is small despite equal reflectance. Behr Toasty Gray (N320-2) has an LRV of 61 and a ΔE of 2.2, reflecting marginally more light. These options allow a close comparison without a large LRV change.
For a lighter alternative, Behr Dove (HDC-MD-21) has an LRV of 66 and a ΔE of 2.3. Its higher reflectance can suit spaces where brighter walls are the goal. Test samples in both daylight and evening light, and keep the sheen consistent to make the comparison more reliable.
