What color is Behr Milkweed Pod?
Behr Milkweed Pod S380-5 is a muted mid-tone gray-green with a noticeable olive cast and softened yellow undertones. Its low saturation keeps the color earthy rather than bright, giving walls a grounded, lightly weathered look. In bright daylight, the green-gray character is clearer, while warmer indoor lighting can bring forward its khaki side. Milkweed Pod suits bedrooms, studies, and mudrooms, and it also has enough depth for cabinetry or a restrained exterior accent. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal metal, natural oak, linen, and warm stone for a palette that feels considered without becoming overly rustic.

LRV of Milkweed Pod
Milkweed Pod has an LRV of 29.85% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 29.85%, 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.
