What color is Behr Mild Mint?
Behr Mild Mint PPU11-12 is a light, muted green with a softened gray cast and a faint yellow undertone that keeps it from reading icy. Its low saturation gives walls a gently weathered, powdery look rather than a crisp pastel finish. In bright daylight, Mild Mint can appear slightly cleaner and greener, while lower or warmer light brings out its subdued sage-gray side. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and quiet kitchen walls, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, limestone, and brushed nickel. For more contrast, pair this color with charcoal accents, deep olive textiles, or black-framed fixtures.

Warm light can make it look more olive and earthy, while cool daylight usually makes the green direction easier to notice.

LRV of Mild Mint
Mild Mint has an LRV of 60.89% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 60.89%, 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.
