What color is Behr Hillside Green?
Behr Hillside Green PPU11-17 is a muted mid-tone green with a noticeable gray cast and a soft olive lean. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded, so it reads more like a weathered botanical neutral than a bright garden green. In daylight, it can show its subdued green character more clearly, while lower or warmer light may bring forward its earthy, gray-olive side. Use it on living room, bedroom, or entry walls with warm white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, and aged brass hardware. It also has enough depth for cabinetry or an exterior accent when paired with creamy off-whites, charcoal, and stone materials.

LRV of Hillside Green
Hillside Green has an LRV of 29.07% 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 29.07%, 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.
