What color is Behr Green Aqua?
Behr Green Aqua M420-2 is a pale, softened green with a noticeable aqua cast and a lightly muted finish. Its high-light value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the green-blue tint gives it more character than a standard off-white. In daylight, this shade can read as a clean minty green; lower or warmer light may bring out its gentle gray-green side. It suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, bedrooms, and sunlit kitchens where a light color is wanted without going fully neutral. Pair Green Aqua with crisp white trim, light oak, pale stone, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for definition.

LRV of Green Aqua
Green Aqua has an LRV of 73.93% and refers to Off‑White 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 73.93%, 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.
