What color is Behr Alamosa Green?
Behr Alamosa Green PPU11-04 is a muted yellow-green with an earthy olive cast and a softly weathered appearance. Its medium-light depth keeps it visible on walls without making a room feel heavy, while the grayed saturation prevents it from reading too bright. In daylight, Alamosa Green can show more of its leafy green side; under warmer lamps, its khaki and olive undertones become more noticeable. It suits kitchens, mudrooms, home offices, and exterior siding where a grounded natural color is wanted. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, charcoal, aged brass, light oak, or woven natural-fiber accents.

LRV of Alamosa Green
Alamosa Green has an LRV of 29.72% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 29.72%, 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.
