What color is Behr Frosted Jade?

Behr Frosted Jade PPU11-13 is a light, muted green with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it soft rather than bright. Its pale value gives walls an airy look, while the subtle green undertone adds more character than a standard off-white. In daylight, this shade reads as a quiet washed green; lower or warmer lighting can bring out its silvery, softened quality. Frosted Jade suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and living spaces, especially alongside creamy whites, pale oak, linen upholstery, and brushed nickel. For a little contrast, pair it with charcoal accents or deeper forest-toned details.

LRV of Frosted Jade

Frosted Jade has an LRV of 59.66% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 59.66%, 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.
