What color is Behr Green Agate?
Behr Green Agate M430-7 is a deep, muted green with a noticeable gray cast that keeps its color grounded rather than bright. Its blue-green lean gives it a cool, shaded character, especially in north-facing rooms or lower light. On walls, Green Agate can give a dining room, den, or entry a strong architectural backdrop without reading as nearly black. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, or rust-toned textiles to bring out its natural depth. It also has enough weight for cabinetry or a front door, where its softened saturation prevents the finish from feeling overly bold.

LRV of Green Agate
Green Agate has an LRV of 9.49% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 9.49%, 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.
