What color is Behr Eco Green?
Behr Eco Green PPU8-05 is a muted, medium-depth olive-khaki with a noticeable earthy gold cast. Its low saturation keeps the color from reading bright green, giving it a softened, weathered look instead. In warm daylight, it can lean more golden and tan; cooler light brings forward its restrained olive undertone. Use it on a study, mudroom, or exterior siding when you want color with a grounded presence, or try it on cabinetry against warm white walls. Natural oak, aged brass, charcoal, clay tile, and creamy linen all complement this shade well.

LRV of Eco Green
Eco Green has an LRV of 31% 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%, 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.
