About Night Club

Night Club (N500-7) is a true black from Behr with almost no visible undertone. With an LRV of 7, Night Club absorbs most light. It creates a dramatic, enveloping look and suits accent walls, cabinetry and well-lit rooms.

Because its undertone is so subtle, Night Club stays fairly consistent between north- and south-facing rooms. It's a good fit for accent walls, front doors, cabinetry and powder rooms. Next to Cracked Pepper (PPU18-01), it's darker.

How Night Club changes with the light

Night Club is a deep color. In north-facing or dim rooms it reads darker and cozier; in south-facing rooms it shows more of its color. Either can work, depending on the mood you want.

N

North-facing rooms

Night Club will read even deeper in north light: great for a cozy, enveloping room, less so if you want it bright.

E

East-facing rooms

Night Club will look warmer and brighter in the morning and cooler and grayer by afternoon; check a sample at both times.

S

South-facing rooms

South light keeps Night Club from feeling heavy, so deep colors work well here.

W

West-facing rooms

Night Club looks cool in the morning and warms up in the golden late-afternoon light.
