What color is Behr Country Weekend?
Behr Country Weekend MQ6-40 is a soft mid-tone green with a noticeable cool, minty cast and enough gray to keep it from reading overly bright. Its moderate saturation gives walls clear color presence while maintaining an airy, easygoing look. In daylight, Country Weekend can appear fresh and lightly blue-green, while warmer indoor lighting may bring out a gentler leafy quality. It suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, sunrooms, and bedrooms, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibers, and brushed nickel. For contrast, pair this shade with charcoal accents or deep navy textiles; for a quieter scheme, use creamy off-whites and muted sandy beige.

LRV of Country Weekend
Country Weekend has an LRV of 40.55% 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 40.55%, 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.
