What color is Behr Juniper Ash?

Behr Juniper Ash PPU12-16 is a muted mid-tone green-gray with a softly cool cast and restrained saturation. Its gray base keeps the green from reading too leafy, giving walls a grounded, mineral-like appearance. In bright daylight, the color can show a clearer eucalyptus green note, while lower or warmer light pulls it closer to a weathered gray. Use Juniper Ash in bedrooms, home offices, or on cabinetry where a calm but visible color is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, charcoal accents, and natural linen for a layered finish.

LRV of Juniper Ash

Juniper Ash has an LRV of 22.9% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why 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 22.9%, 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.
