What color is Behr Fresh Sprout?
Behr Fresh Sprout PPU9-07 is a muted yellow-green with a soft olive cast and a gently sun-faded appearance. Its medium-light value keeps it from feeling heavy, while the subdued saturation makes it calmer than a bright spring green. On walls, Fresh Sprout can bring a grounded note to kitchens, breakfast nooks, mudrooms, or a nature-inspired bedroom. Warm daylight emphasizes its golden side, while cooler light can make the olive undertone more apparent. Pair it with creamy white trim, honey-toned wood, aged brass, charcoal accents, or clay-colored textiles for a collected, earthy palette.

LRV of Fresh Sprout
Fresh Sprout has an LRV of 49.26% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 49.26%, 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.
