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.

LRV of Jojoba

Jojoba has an LRV of 47% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident lightWhy LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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.
