What color is Behr Garden Twilight?
Behr Garden Twilight S430-3 is a light, muted green with a noticeable gray cast and a soft hint of blue. Its low-saturation look keeps it from reading overly minty, giving walls a weathered, airy appearance instead. In bright daylight, Garden Twilight can show more of its gentle green character, while dimmer rooms may bring out its cooler gray-blue side. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, or built-in cabinetry, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and natural linen. For contrast, pair this shade with charcoal accents or deep blue-green details rather than sharp, high-energy colors.

LRV of Garden Twilight
Garden Twilight has an LRV of 45.09% 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 45.09%, 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.
