What color is Behr Black Evergreen?

Behr Black Evergreen MQ6-44 is a deep, muted green-gray with a distinctly shadowed, near-charcoal appearance. Its low saturation keeps the color restrained, while the blue-green cast is most noticeable in clear daylight. In dim rooms or evening light, Black Evergreen can read darker and more neutral, making it especially effective for cabinetry, interior doors, or a focused accent wall. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, or soft clay-toned textiles to bring out its understated green character. On an exterior, this shade suits shutters, a front door, or siding details against lighter stone or creamy off-white finishes.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 7.89%, 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.
