What color is Behr Composed?
Behr Composed MQ6-45 is a light, muted green with a noticeable gray cast and a soft yellow-green undertone. Its low saturation keeps it from reading too botanical, giving walls a quiet, powdery look rather than a crisp mint effect. In daylight, Composed shows its gentle green character more clearly; under warm bulbs, it can lean slightly more subdued and earthy. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas where a pale color is wanted without using plain white. Pair it with warm off-whites, weathered oak, linen upholstery, matte black hardware, or clay-toned accents for a grounded palette.

LRV of Composed
Composed has an LRV of 53.67% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 53.67%, 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.
