What color is Behr Mayan Treasure?
Behr Mayan Treasure P490-7 is a saturated blue-green with a clear teal cast and a cool, watery character. Its medium-dark depth gives it enough presence for a full accent wall, while the clean color intensity also suits painted cabinetry or a front door. In bright daylight, Mayan Treasure reads crisper and bluer; lower or warmer lighting can bring forward its greener teal side. Pair it with soft white trim, pale gray stone, light oak, or warm brass to give the color contrast without competing with it. It is especially effective in bathrooms, dining rooms, and covered exterior spaces where a strong, fresh-looking hue can hold its own.

LRV of Mayan Treasure
Mayan Treasure has an LRV of 9.51% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 9.51%, 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.
