What color is Behr Ivy Topiary?
Behr Ivy Topiary PPU8-25 is a muted olive-gray with a medium-dark depth and a noticeably earthy cast. Its green is softened by brown and gray undertones, so it reads more like weathered foliage than a bright botanical green. In daylight, this shade can show its dusty olive character, while lower or warmer light may pull it toward a deeper khaki-gray. It brings grounded color to living room walls, studies, mudrooms, or exterior siding without becoming overly saturated. Pair Ivy Topiary with warm off-whites, clay-toned textiles, black metal, aged brass, and natural wood for a layered, material-focused look.

LRV of Ivy Topiary
Ivy Topiary has an LRV of 12.05% 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 12.05%, 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.
