What color is Behr Jojoba?
Behr Jojoba N390-3 is a softened gray-green with a light, muted presence that reads calm without looking washed out. Its low-saturation sage cast is most noticeable in daylight, while warmer bulbs can bring forward its gentle gray-beige side. Use it on bedroom, living room, or home office walls where a quiet neutral with more character than plain gray is wanted. Jojoba pairs well with creamy white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, and aged brass hardware. For contrast, add charcoal accents or deep olive textiles; for a lighter look, combine it with pale stone and warm off-whites.

What are Behr Jojoba undertones?
Jojoba is a mid-light, very muted sage-gray. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-green bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-green. Warm light can make it look more olive and earthy, while cool daylight usually makes the green direction easier to notice.

Monochromatic color scheme
This scheme consists of various shades, tints, and tones of a single color. While it offers a perfect combination of hues, without accent décor it may become monotonous.
Lighter shades
Darker shades
Complementary color scheme
This color scheme is a combination of two shades that are opposite each other on the color wheel. The high contrast between these colors creates a vibrant and dynamic visual effect. For the color Jojoba with a orange hue, complementary colors are those with a blue hue close to 268, such as Behr Mata Hari and Hyacinth Arbor.
LRV of Jojoba
Jojoba has an LRV of 47% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 47%, 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.
