What color is Behr Flora Green?
Behr Flora Green MQ6-46 is a muted mid-tone green with a gray cast and a gentle yellow-green undertone. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading too bright, giving walls a grounded, leafy appearance rather than a crisp botanical green. In warm daylight or incandescent light, Flora Green can lean slightly more olive; cooler light brings out its quieter gray-green side. It suits bedrooms, mudrooms, and built-in cabinetry, especially alongside warm white trim, natural oak, linen, and aged brass. Pair it with clay neutrals, soft charcoal, or creamy beige for a palette that feels collected rather than overly coordinated.

LRV of Flora Green
Flora Green has an LRV of 35.61% 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 35.61%, 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.
