What color is Behr Green Energy?
Behr Green Energy PPU10-03 is a muted mid-tone green with an earthy olive cast and noticeable yellow undertones. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading too sharp, giving walls a grounded, natural look rather than a bright botanical one. In warm artificial light, Green Energy can appear a little more golden and olive, while cooler daylight brings out its subdued green side. It suits kitchens, mudrooms, studies, and exterior trim, especially alongside warm white, charcoal, clay-toned accents, or natural oak. Pair it with linen, aged brass, woven textures, and stone for a room that feels considered without becoming overly rustic.

LRV of Green Energy
Green Energy has an LRV of 23.88% 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 23.88%, 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.
