What color is Behr Back To Nature?
Behr Back To Nature S340-4 is a muted yellow-green with a soft khaki cast and a lightly weathered appearance. Its mid-light depth keeps it noticeable on walls without reading dark, while the restrained saturation prevents it from feeling overly leafy or bright. In daylight, this color can show its earthy olive side more clearly; warmer artificial light tends to bring forward its gentle golden undertone. Use it in kitchens, mudrooms, studies, or bedrooms with warm white trim, natural oak, woven fibers, and aged brass hardware. Back To Nature also makes a grounded cabinet color when paired with creamy countertops or pale stone backsplashes.

LRV of Back To Nature
Back To Nature has an LRV of 46.48% 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 46.48%, 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.
