What color is Behr Irish Folklore?
Behr Irish Folklore P380-3 is a light, softened green with a noticeable yellow cast that keeps it from reading cool or minty. Its pale value gives walls an airy look, while the muted saturation prevents it from feeling overly bright. In daylight, Irish Folklore can resemble a gentle leafy green; under warmer bulbs, its yellow undertone becomes more apparent. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, and bedrooms, especially alongside warm white trim, natural oak, woven grass textures, and aged brass. For a more grounded palette, pair this color with clay-toned accents, soft cream upholstery, or deep olive details.

LRV of Irish Folklore
Irish Folklore has an LRV of 70.07% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 70.07%, 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.
