What color is Behr Flora?
Behr Flora N390-2 is a light, muted gray-green with a soft yellow cast that keeps it from reading icy or blue. Its low saturation gives walls a gently weathered, almost plaster-like appearance rather than a distinctly leafy green look. In daylight, Flora can show its quiet green undertone more clearly; under warm bulbs, it shifts toward a pale olive-gray. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas where a light neutral is wanted with more character than plain gray. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm oak, natural linen, aged brass, or charcoal accents for contrast.

What are Behr Flora undertones?
Flora is a light, very muted pale khaki. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-green bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-green. Warm light can make it look more olive and earthy, while cool daylight usually makes the green direction easier to notice.

LRV of Flora
Flora has an LRV of 63.86% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 63.86%, 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.
