What color is Behr Gazebo Green?
Behr Gazebo Green MQ6-16 is a muted green with a noticeable gray cast and an earthy olive undertone. Its medium depth keeps it grounded rather than bright, making it especially suited to rooms that need color without a sharp contrast. In strong daylight, Gazebo Green can read as a softened botanical green, while lower or warmer lighting tends to bring out its khaki-gray side. Use it on walls in a study, mudroom, or dining area, or on cabinetry paired with warm white tile, aged brass, and natural oak. Creamy off-whites, charcoal, clay brown, and weathered wood give this shade a cohesive, lived-in look.

LRV of Gazebo Green
Gazebo Green has an LRV of 20.29% 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 20.29%, 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.
