What color is Behr Key Largo?
Behr Key Largo MQ4-22 is a clear, light aqua with a noticeable blue-green cast and a clean, breezy brightness. Its medium-light depth keeps it colorful on a full wall without becoming heavy, though bright daylight can bring forward its cooler blue side. In warmer artificial light, the green tint may read a little more apparent, giving the shade a softened tropical-water look. Use it in bathrooms, laundry rooms, sunrooms, or on a painted accent cabinet where its fresh color can stand out. Crisp white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibers, and charcoal or deep navy accents give Key Largo a grounded contrast.

LRV of Key Largo
Key Largo has an LRV of 51.14% 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 51.14%, 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.
