What color is Behr Hummingbird Green?
Behr Hummingbird Green MQ6-48 is a muted, medium-depth green with an earthy olive cast. Its softened yellow undertone keeps the color from reading blue or forest-dark, giving it a grounded look on broad wall surfaces. In daylight, Hummingbird Green appears like a restrained leafy green, while warm evening lighting can bring out its more khaki-toned side. It suits studies, mudrooms, dining rooms, and exterior shutters, especially alongside warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, and tan linen. For a stronger application, use this shade on cabinetry or a single built-in wall with pale cream surroundings.

LRV of Hummingbird Green
Hummingbird Green has an LRV of 13.6% 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 13.6%, 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.
