What color is Behr Mossy Bench?
Behr Mossy Bench MQ6-11 is a muted mid-tone green with a softened gray cast and a subtle cool lean. Its restrained saturation keeps it from reading too leafy or bright, giving walls a grounded, gently weathered look. In bright daylight, the green becomes clearer, while lower or warmer lighting can draw out its gray, slightly subdued side. Mossy Bench suits bedrooms, home offices, and mudrooms, and it can also make painted cabinetry feel calm without becoming too dark. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, or charcoal accents for a material-rich palette.

LRV of Mossy Bench
Mossy Bench has an LRV of 30.93% 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 30.93%, 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.
