What color is Behr Misty Moss?

Behr Misty Moss N420-3 is a muted green-gray with a soft, lightly cool cast and enough gray to keep it from reading overly leafy. Its mid-light depth gives walls gentle color definition while remaining understated in a bedroom, bathroom, or quiet living area. In bright daylight, Misty Moss can appear cleaner and slightly fresher, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its subdued gray-green side. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, and aged brass for a grounded mix of materials. It also makes a considered choice for painted cabinetry or an exterior accent when a low-saturation green is wanted.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 38.8%, 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.
