What color is Behr Garden Vista?

Behr Garden Vista N430-3 is a muted, light gray-green with a soft blue cast that keeps it from reading too earthy. Its low saturation gives walls a lightly weathered, mineral look rather than a strong botanical green. In cool daylight, Garden Vista can lean toward a silvery blue-green, while warmer bulbs bring out its gentler sage side. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, and living areas where a quiet wash of color is wanted, and it can also make restrained cabinetry. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or natural linen for a grounded finish.

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 40.79%, 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.
