What color is Behr Garnish?
Behr Garnish S340-7A is a muted olive-green with a noticeable brown-gold cast, giving it an earthy, medium-dark appearance. Its low-key saturation keeps the color grounded rather than bright, making it especially effective for cabinetry, a study, or an accent wall with architectural detail. In strong daylight, Garnish can show more of its green-olive side, while evening light tends to draw out its warmer khaki undertones. Pair it with creamy off-whites, deep charcoal, aged brass, natural oak, or woven textures for a layered, organic look. On an exterior door or shutter, this shade offers a restrained alternative to more expected black or navy.

LRV of Garnish
Garnish has an LRV of 17.13% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 17.13%, 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.
