What color is Behr Cactus Garden?
Behr Cactus Garden PPU11-18 is a muted, medium-depth green with a noticeable gray cast and an earthy olive undertone. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading too leafy or bright, making it a grounded choice for living room walls, home offices, or a covered exterior. In daylight, the green-gray character is likely to feel clearer, while warmer artificial light can bring out more of its olive side. Pair Cactus Garden with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, and linen textiles for a relaxed, layered look. It also gives dark cabinetry or an accent wall a quieter alternative to charcoal.

LRV of Cactus Garden
Cactus Garden has an LRV of 21.2% 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 21.2%, 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.
