What color is Behr Frosted Sage?
Behr Frosted Sage N400-2 is a light, muted green with soft gray influence and a gently cool cast. Its low-saturation look keeps the color quiet on broad walls, where it reads as a pale green-gray rather than a vivid botanical shade. In north-facing light, Frosted Sage may appear a little cooler and grayer, while warmer daylight can bring out its subtle green character. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas paired with warm white trim, pale oak, linen upholstery, or brushed nickel. For more contrast, use this shade alongside charcoal, deep olive, or matte black accents.

LRV of Frosted Sage
Frosted Sage has an LRV of 60.44% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 60.44%, 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.
