What color is Behr Green Trellis?

Behr Green Trellis MQ6-17 is a muted gray-green with a soft, gently weathered appearance. Its nearly even red and blue values keep the green from feeling overly yellow or blue, giving it a balanced, low-saturation look. In bright natural light, Green Trellis appears lighter and a little fresher, while lower light brings out its gray cast. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and living-room walls where a quiet mid-tone color is wanted without a strong green statement. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, linen upholstery, charcoal accents, or aged brass hardware.

LRV of Green Trellis

Green Trellis has an LRV of 35.84% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 35.84%, 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.
