What color is Behr Hidden Gem?
Behr Hidden Gem N430-6A is a deep, muted blue-green that reads like weathered sea glass after dusk. Its gray cast keeps the color from feeling overly bright, while the green undertone becomes more noticeable in natural daylight. In a north-facing room, it can lean cooler and smokier; warm lamps bring out a softer teal character. Use it on a study wall, lower kitchen cabinets, or a powder room for a grounded dose of color, paired with warm white trim, oak, aged brass, and pale stone.

LRV of Hidden Gem
Hidden Gem has an LRV of 14% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 14%, 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.
