What color is Behr Dark Everglade?

Behr Dark Everglade HDC-CL-21A is a deep, muted green with a noticeable gray cast and a subtly cool blue-green lean. Its low-light depth gives it a grounded look, while the softened saturation keeps it from reading like a bright forest green. In sunlit rooms, this color can show more of its green character; under warm artificial light, it may appear darker and more charcoal-green. Use it on cabinetry, a study wall, or a dining room accent for a substantial dose of color without sharp contrast. Dark Everglade pairs especially well with warm white trim, aged brass, natural oak, black hardware, and stone or tile with creamy beige notes.

LRV of Dark Everglade

Dark Everglade has an LRV of 7.83% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 7.83%, 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.
