What color is Behr Alpine Trail?

Behr Alpine Trail N420-7 is a deep, muted green-gray with a noticeably low-saturation, earthy cast. Its restrained green undertone keeps it from reading like a plain charcoal, while the dark value gives walls and cabinetry clear visual weight. In bright daylight, Alpine Trail can show more of its softened green character; under warm artificial light, it tends to look quieter and more neutral. It suits studies, dining rooms, mudrooms, and exterior trim, especially alongside warm white, weathered oak, black metal, and natural stone. Use it on all four walls for a grounded, cocooning effect or reserve it for built-ins and doors against lighter neutral walls.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 9.62%, 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.
