What color is Behr Misty Meadow?
Behr Misty Meadow M390-2 is a very light, muted green with a soft yellow-green cast that keeps it from reading icy or blue. Its pale value gives walls an airy look, while the low saturation prevents the color from feeling overly sweet or pastel-heavy. In bright daylight, Misty Meadow appears fresh and lightly green; under warm bulbs, its yellow undertone becomes more noticeable and the shade can look closer to a creamy pale sage. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, mudrooms, or kitchen walls where a gentle wash of color is wanted without much visual weight. Pair it with warm white trim, light oak, woven natural fibers, and muted clay or olive accents for a grounded palette.

LRV of Misty Meadow
Misty Meadow has an LRV of 78.19% and refers to Off‑White 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 78.19%, 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.
