What color is Behr Forest Edge?
Behr Forest Edge S430-6 is a muted mid-depth green with a noticeable gray cast and a lightly cool, mineral-like character. Its restrained saturation keeps it from reading overly botanical, making it a grounded option for living room walls, home offices, or a mudroom cabinet finish. In bright daylight, Forest Edge can show more of its softened green side, while lower or warmer lighting brings forward its dusky gray undertone. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, or charcoal textiles for contrast without making the palette feel busy.

LRV of Forest Edge
Forest Edge has an LRV of 17.14% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 17.14%, 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.
