What color is Behr Chard?
Behr Chard MQ6-49 is a deep, muted green with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its yellow-olive undertone gives the color an earthy warmth, while the low saturation makes it feel restrained and substantial on a wall. In daylight, Chard can read as a softened mossy green; under warm evening lighting, it tends to look darker and more olive. It is especially effective for cabinetry, a study, or a dining room where its depth can hold up against warm wood, aged brass, and creamy off-white trim. Pair it with natural linen, charcoal accents, or clay-toned ceramics for a palette that feels layered without becoming busy.

LRV of Chard
Chard has an LRV of 8.04% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 8.04%, 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.
