What color is Behr Fern Canopy?
Behr Fern Canopy M380-6 is a muted mid-tone green with an earthy olive cast and a noticeable yellow-green undertone. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading as bright botanical green, giving walls a grounded, natural presence instead. In warm artificial light, Fern Canopy may appear more olive and slightly warmer, while cooler daylight can bring out its quieter sage-green side. It suits studies, dining rooms, mudrooms, or exterior trim, and can also make a substantial statement on cabinetry. Pair it with creamy off-whites, weathered wood, matte black hardware, warm stone, or muted clay accents.

LRV of Fern Canopy
Fern Canopy has an LRV of 21.33% 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 21.33%, 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.
