What color is Behr Jade Tinge?
Behr Jade Tinge MQ3-49 is a light, muted green with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly pastel. Its nearly balanced red and blue notes give the color a subdued, slightly cool appearance, while the green remains clear enough to register on the wall. In bright daylight, Jade Tinge can look airy and lightly washed; lower or warmer lighting may bring out its gentle grayness. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and quiet living areas where a pale color is wanted without the starkness of white. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, natural linen, matte black hardware, or deeper olive accents for contrast.

LRV of Jade Tinge
Jade Tinge has an LRV of 55.84% 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 55.84%, 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.
