What color is Behr Bonsai Trunk?

Behr Bonsai Trunk N380-6 is a muted, medium-dark gray with a noticeable olive cast that keeps it from reading flat or stark. Its low-saturation mix of green, gray, and a trace of earthy warmth gives walls a grounded, natural look, especially in rooms with wood flooring or woven textures. In bright daylight, the green-gray character is more apparent; under warmer evening lighting, it can look deeper and slightly more khaki. Use this shade for a den, study, mudroom, or exterior trim when a substantial neutral is needed without the cool blue lean of many charcoal grays. Bonsai Trunk pairs well with warm white, soft putty, black metal, oak, walnut, and muted clay accents.

What are Behr Bonsai Trunk undertones?

Bonsai Trunk is a midtone, very muted olive-brown. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Bonsai Trunk

Bonsai Trunk has an LRV of 14.99% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little light. Why LRV is important?

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 14.99%, 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.
