What color is Behr Fresh Guacamole?
Behr Fresh Guacamole M360-5 is a muted yellow-green with a soft olive cast and a light-to-medium depth. Its earthy warmth keeps it from reading sharp or grassy, giving the color a settled, slightly weathered look on broad walls. In bright daylight, the yellow-green character becomes clearer, while lower or warmer lighting can pull it closer to an understated olive. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, mudrooms, and garden-facing rooms, especially alongside creamy white trim, natural oak, woven rattan, and aged brass. Fresh Guacamole also makes a grounded cabinet or exterior shutter color when paired with warm off-whites and deep charcoal accents.

LRV of Fresh Guacamole
Fresh Guacamole has an LRV of 38.32% 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 38.32%, 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.
