What color is Behr Eastern Bamboo?
Behr Eastern Bamboo PPU9-25 is a muted, deep olive with a noticeable yellow-brown cast that keeps it grounded rather than green. Its low-saturation character gives walls a quiet, earthy presence, especially in studies, dining rooms, or entryways with wood furniture. In bright daylight, the olive tone reads more clearly; under warm evening lighting, it can lean toward a weathered khaki-brown. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, aged brass, and walnut or oak finishes for a layered natural palette. Eastern Bamboo also has enough depth for kitchen cabinetry or a painted interior door when a softer alternative to black or dark brown is wanted.

LRV of Eastern Bamboo
Eastern Bamboo has an LRV of 10.34% 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 10.34%, 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.
