What color is Behr Down-To-Earth?

Behr Down-To-Earth S360-7 is a deep, muted olive green with a noticeable earthy yellow-brown cast. Its low, grounded saturation keeps it from reading too bright, giving walls a substantial, natural-looking presence. In warm light, Down-To-Earth can appear more olive and slightly golden, while cooler daylight brings out its quieter green-gray side. It suits studies, dining rooms, mudrooms, and exterior trim, and can also make a strong statement on lower cabinetry. Pair it with warm white, clay-toned neutrals, aged brass, oak, and dark walnut for a layered, material-rich palette.

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 11.02%, 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.
