What color is Behr Dried Chive?
Behr Dried Chive S330-5 is a muted, earthy khaki with olive-brown undertones and a softly weathered look. Its mid-tone depth gives it more presence than a pale beige, while the low saturation keeps it from feeling heavy on larger walls. In bright daylight, this color can read as a dry yellowed olive; under warm interior lighting, its brown and tan notes become more noticeable. It suits studies, dining rooms, mudrooms, and exterior trim where a grounded neutral feels appropriate. Pair Dried Chive with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, aged brass, natural oak, or woven linen for a layered, material-focused scheme.

LRV of Dried Chive
Dried Chive has an LRV of 31.51% 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 31.51%, 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.
