What color is Behr Azalea Leaf?
Behr Azalea Leaf S400-4 is a light, muted green with a gentle yellow-green lean and a noticeable gray softness. Its low-saturation character keeps it from reading overly leafy or bright, making it especially suited to broad wall areas in bedrooms, bathrooms, and sunlit living spaces. In warm daylight, the green can appear a little fresher, while cooler light may bring out its subdued, silvery cast. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven linen, and soft clay or putty accents for a grounded palette. This shade can also give painted cabinetry or a covered exterior entry a quiet wash of color without becoming dominant.

LRV of Azalea Leaf
Azalea Leaf has an LRV of 46.68% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 46.68%, 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.
