What color is Behr Mammoth Mountain?
Behr Mammoth Mountain S460-6 is a deep blue-green with a muted, slightly gray cast that keeps its color grounded rather than overly bright. It reads cool overall, with enough teal in the mix to bring definition to a study, powder room, or built-in cabinetry. In strong daylight, its blue-green character is clearer, while lower or warmer light can make it appear more subdued and shadowy. Pair this shade with crisp white trim, pale oak, aged brass, or warm tan leather to create contrast without competing with its depth. On an exterior, it has enough weight for a front door or shutters against light stone, cream, or soft gray siding.

LRV of Mammoth Mountain
Mammoth Mountain has an LRV of 11.31% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 11.31%, 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.
