What color is Behr Belfast?
Behr Belfast M390-6 is a medium, leafy green with a noticeable yellow-green cast that keeps it grounded rather than blue or icy. Its mid-range depth gives walls clear color presence without making a room feel overly dark. In bright daylight, Belfast reads as a fresh garden green, while lower light can bring out its softer, earthier side. It suits mudrooms, kitchens, home offices, and covered exterior details, especially alongside warm white trim, natural oak, woven textures, and aged brass. For contrast, pair this shade with charcoal accents or deep brown wood rather than cool blue-grays.

LRV of Belfast
Belfast has an LRV of 18.01% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 18.01%, 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.
