What color is Behr Magic Mint?
Behr Magic Mint P380-1 is a very pale, low-saturation green with a noticeable yellow cast that keeps it from reading icy or blue. Its light value gives walls an airy, barely-there wash of color, especially in rooms with ample daylight. In brighter light, Magic Mint can appear close to a softened off-white with a green tint, while lower light brings out its gentle leafy undertone. It suits bedrooms, nurseries, bathrooms, and kitchens where a subtle color is preferred over stark white. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibers, or muted clay and sand tones for a soft, grounded palette.

What are Behr Magic Mint undertones?
Magic Mint is a near-white, very muted green-tinted off-white. 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.

LRV of Magic Mint
Magic Mint has an LRV of 85.3% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 85.3%, 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.
