What color is Behr Hunter'S Hollow?
Behr Hunter'S Hollow MQ6-21 is a muted gray-green with a soft, earthy cast that keeps it from reading as a plain neutral. Its low-saturation olive undertone gives the color a grounded look, while the medium-light depth provides enough presence for full walls. In bright daylight, it can appear more silvery and subdued; warmer artificial light may bring out its khaki-green side. Use it in a study, bedroom, mudroom, or on exterior siding with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, natural oak, aged brass, and stone textures. Hunter'S Hollow also suits cabinetry when paired with light counters and a warm white backsplash.

LRV of Hunter'S Hollow

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 31.54%, 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.
