What color is Behr Dragonfly?
Behr Dragonfly PPU12-3 is a muted blue-green with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its medium depth gives walls enough presence for a dining room, bedroom, or home office without making the space feel overly dark. In daylight, Dragonfly can read as a softened teal, while lower or warmer artificial light tends to bring out its subdued gray-green side. Pair it with soft white trim, weathered oak, natural linen, and charcoal accents for a layered, lived-in look. It also makes a strong choice for painted cabinetry when balanced with pale stone counters and warm brass hardware.

LRV of Dragonfly
Dragonfly has an LRV of 26% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 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.
