What color is Behr Cottage Hill?
Behr Cottage Hill HDC-CT-28 is a muted, mid-light green with a soft gray cast and a gentle olive undertone. Its low-saturation character keeps it from reading overly green, giving walls a quiet, weathered look rather than a crisp botanical one. In bright daylight, Cottage Hill can appear like a softened sage, while warmer artificial light may draw out more of its yellow-green side. It suits bedrooms, mudrooms, and living areas where natural wood, aged brass, linen, and warm white trim are part of the palette. Pair this color with creamy off-whites, clay-toned accents, or deep charcoal for contrast without making the room feel stark.

LRV of Cottage Hill
Cottage Hill has an LRV of 42.26% 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 42.26%, 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.
