What color is Behr Aloe Thorn?
Behr Aloe Thorn PPU10-17 is a muted mid-tone green with a noticeable gray cast and a softened olive undertone. Its low-saturation finish keeps it earthy rather than bright, making it a grounded option for living room walls, a study, or a mudroom. In cooler daylight, Aloe Thorn can read more gray-green, while warm lamps tend to bring out its subtle yellowed olive side. Pair it with warm white trim, weathered oak, black metal, and clay-toned textiles for a room that feels collected rather than overly coordinated.

LRV of Aloe Thorn
Aloe Thorn has an LRV of 24.56% 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 24.56%, 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.
