What color is Behr Back to Nature?
Behr Back to Nature S340-4 is a softened olive-khaki with a muted yellow-green cast and a lightly weathered look. Its medium-light value keeps it from feeling heavy, while the low saturation gives walls a calm, earthy presence rather than a sharp green statement. In bright daylight, this shade can read more like a dusty golden olive; under warmer lamps, its beige undertone becomes more noticeable. It suits kitchens, living rooms, mudrooms, and covered exterior details where natural wood, linen, or woven textures are part of the scheme. Pair Back to Nature with creamy off-whites, warm taupes, charcoal accents, and medium-toned oak for a grounded palette.

LRV of Back to Nature
Back to Nature has an LRV of 48% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 48%, 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.
