What color is Behr Mossy Cavern?
Behr Mossy Cavern M350-5 is a muted yellow-green with a softened, earthy cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its medium-light depth gives walls noticeable color while remaining calm enough for larger rooms such as kitchens, breakfast nooks, and home offices. In warm daylight, Mossy Cavern can show more of its olive and golden undertones; cooler lighting may bring out its subdued gray-green side. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm wood cabinetry, matte black hardware, or natural linen for a grounded palette. It also makes a useful cabinet or accent-wall color when a room needs more character than a neutral beige or gray.

LRV of Mossy Cavern
Mossy Cavern has an LRV of 36.4% 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 36.4%, 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.
