What color is Behr Aruba Green?
Behr Aruba Green MQ4-16 is a clear mid-tone green with a noticeable blue cast, giving it a fresh blue-green appearance rather than a yellow-leaning botanical green. Its moderate depth and saturation let it hold its color on a full wall without feeling overly dark. In bright natural light, Aruba Green can read cleaner and slightly lighter, while lower light tends to bring out its deeper teal-green side. It suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, porch ceilings, or painted cabinetry, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibers, and brushed nickel. For contrast, pair this shade with warm off-whites, soft sand tones, or muted clay accents.

LRV of Aruba Green
Aruba Green has an LRV of 29.44% 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 29.44%, 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.
