What color is Behr Bermuda Grass?
Behr Bermuda Grass MQ6-57 is a muted olive-khaki with a soft yellow cast that keeps it from reading overly green. Its midtone depth and restrained saturation give walls a grounded, weathered look rather than a sharp botanical effect. In brighter daylight, the dusty olive character is more apparent, while lower light can make this shade appear deeper and more brown-leaning. Use it in a study, mudroom, dining room, or on built-in cabinetry with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, and woven linen textures. Bermuda Grass also pairs well with clay neutrals, charcoal accents, and deep muted blue-green details.

LRV of Bermuda Grass
Bermuda Grass has an LRV of 33.07% 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 33.07%, 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.
