What color is Behr Fertile Green?
Behr Fertile Green S340-6 is a muted, medium-depth olive green with a noticeable yellow-khaki cast. Its softened saturation keeps it earthy rather than sharp, making it a grounded option for a study, dining room, mudroom, or built-in cabinetry. In bright daylight, Fertile Green can read more olive and slightly golden, while lower light tends to bring out its deeper, subdued green character. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm putty tones, natural oak, aged brass, or matte black hardware for a considered, material-driven look. On an exterior, this shade is especially effective on shutters, doors, or trim against warm white or pale beige siding.

LRV of Fertile Green
Fertile Green has an LRV of 22.77% 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 22.77%, 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.
