What color is Behr Botanical Green?
Behr Botanical Green PPU11-03 is a muted mid-tone green with soft gray and yellow undertones that keep it earthy rather than bright. Its low-to-medium saturation gives walls a gently weathered, leafy appearance, especially alongside warm white trim. In daylight, this color reads as a grounded sage green, while evening light can bring out its slightly deeper olive cast. It suits kitchens, mudrooms, studies, and exterior siding, and can also make a calm statement on cabinetry. Pair Botanical Green with cream, warm taupe, aged brass, natural oak, or matte black for a collected, material-focused look.

LRV of Botanical Green
Botanical Green has an LRV of 25.11% 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 25.11%, 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.
