What color is Behr Hidden Gem?

Behr Hidden Gem N430-6A is a muted blue-green with a softened gray cast, giving it a medium-dark, grounded appearance. The color reads cooler than a traditional sage, with enough green to keep it from feeling stark or overly blue. In bright daylight, its blue-green character becomes clearer, while lower or warmer lighting can bring forward its charcoal-like depth. It suits cabinetry, a dining room, or an accent wall where a deeper color can define the space without looking overly saturated. Pair Hidden Gem with warm white trim, pale oak, brushed brass, or natural linen for contrast and texture.

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 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.
