What color is Behr Marjoram?
Behr Marjoram M360-4 is a light, muted yellow-green with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly leafy or bright. Its pale depth gives walls a gently colored look, especially in kitchens, bedrooms, and sunrooms where a neutral white might feel too stark. In cooler daylight, Marjoram can appear more subdued and green-gray, while warmer bulbs draw out its mellow olive-yellow undertone. Pair it with creamy off-whites, weathered oak, linen upholstery, and brushed brass for a grounded, natural palette. It also makes a pleasing cabinet or accent color alongside warm white walls and charcoal hardware.

LRV of Marjoram
Marjoram has an LRV of 54.37% 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 54.37%, 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.
