What color is Behr Dusty Olive?
Behr Dusty Olive PPU8-20 is a muted olive-toned neutral with a soft, weathered cast. Its #9d9885 color value reads as a medium-light shade, blending green influence with a noticeable gray-beige base rather than appearing strongly green. In bright daylight, Dusty Olive can look lighter and more subdued, while lower or warmer light may bring out its earthy khaki character. Use it on living room or bedroom walls when you want color without a sharp contrast against natural wood, linen, or woven textures. It also suits painted cabinetry paired with warm white walls, aged brass hardware, and stone or cream-colored tile.

LRV of Dusty Olive
Dusty Olive has an LRV of 31.27% 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 31.27%, 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.
