What color is Behr Mild Evergreen?
Behr Mild Evergreen MQ6-37 is a light, muted green with a noticeable blue cast that keeps it looking fresh rather than yellow or earthy. Its soft grayness lowers the saturation, so it reads as a gentle sea-glass tone on broad walls instead of a bright pastel. In daylight, Mild Evergreen can appear cleaner and slightly cooler, while warm evening bulbs may bring out its quieter green side. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, and sunlit kitchens where a pale color can add definition without making the room feel heavy. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, natural linen, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Mild Evergreen
Mild Evergreen has an LRV of 41.27% 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 41.27%, 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.
