What color is Behr Garden Salt Green?
Behr Garden Salt Green S320-6 is a muted, earthy olive-khaki with a noticeable brown and golden cast. Its medium depth keeps it grounded rather than pale, making it especially effective for a den, dining room, mudroom, or painted built-ins. In bright daylight, Garden Salt Green can read as a softened yellow-green neutral, while lower or warmer light brings forward its more tan, putty-like side. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal, dark wood, aged brass, or natural linen for a layered, organic look. This shade has enough weight for cabinetry or an exterior door, but it can also hold its own across all four walls in a room with good natural light.

LRV of Garden Salt Green
Garden Salt Green has an LRV of 26.78% 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 26.78%, 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.
