What color is Behr Halls Of Ivy?

Behr Halls Of Ivy HDC-AC-20 is a muted mid-tone gray-green with a soft olive cast and low, earthy saturation. Its slightly yellowed green undertone keeps it from reading like a cold cement gray, especially beside warm white trim or natural oak. In daylight, Halls Of Ivy can appear more balanced and gray; under warmer bulbs, its olive character is more noticeable. Use it on a study, mudroom, or exterior siding for a grounded look, or try it on cabinetry with aged brass hardware. Creamy off-whites, charcoal, terracotta, and weathered wood give this shade a useful range of companions.

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 17.72%, 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.
