What color is Behr Australian Jade?
Behr Australian Jade S420-4 is a muted mid-tone green with a noticeable gray cast and a subtle blue-leaning coolness. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading bright or leafy, giving walls a calm, weathered-green appearance instead. In north-facing rooms, Australian Jade may look cooler and slightly grayer, while warm daylight can bring out more of its gentle green character. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, built-in shelving, or kitchen cabinetry where a restrained color is wanted. Pair it with soft white trim, pale oak, aged brass, charcoal accents, or warm stone for a grounded contrast.

LRV of Australian Jade
Australian Jade has an LRV of 31.05% 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 31.05%, 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.
