What color is Behr Dark Jade?
Behr Dark Jade MQ6-43 is a muted mid-depth green with a noticeable blue-gray cast that keeps it from reading too leafy or bright. Its low-saturation character gives walls a softened, grounded look, while the green remains clear enough to stand apart from neutral gray. In daylight, Dark Jade can show its cool, slightly teal-leaning side; lower light makes it appear deeper and more reserved. It suits offices, bedrooms, powder rooms, and painted cabinetry, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, charcoal, or clay-toned accents. Use this color on a full wall for a calm backdrop or on built-ins and doors when a darker architectural detail is wanted.

LRV of Dark Jade
Dark Jade has an LRV of 18.94% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 18.94%, 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.
