What color is Behr Avocado Whip?
Behr Avocado Whip M360-3 is a light, muted yellow-green with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its gentle olive undertone gives white walls, trim, and cabinetry a subtle contrast without making the room feel dark. In daylight, this shade can appear cleaner and slightly fresher, while warm evening lighting may bring forward its creamy yellow notes. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, mudrooms, and bedrooms where a quiet wash of color is wanted on the walls. Pair Avocado Whip with warm white, natural oak, woven fibers, matte black hardware, or dusty terracotta accents for grounded contrast.

LRV of Avocado Whip
Avocado Whip has an LRV of 62.35% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 62.35%, 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.
